The Climate Action Plan will include actions in six different areas, which are shown below. It will include actions that mitigate or reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and actions that will help the community adapt to climate change impacts. Please check out the summaries of potential actions that been evaluated as the most effective and cost-effective, and the most important based on the input we have received so far. Each of the six areas has actions that could be pursued community-wide and actions that could be pursued in City operations.
In 2016, the Corvallis City Council adopted the Corvallis Climate Action Plan (CAP) in which the City set a goal to reduce the community’s greenhouse gas emissions 75% below 1990 levels by 2050. The CAP describes actions for adaptation and mitigation of climate change through a range of municipal and community wide action points. In order to better understand our community’s emissions and progress toward the CAP’s target, the City of Corvallis has completed two Community Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Inventories – one for 2012 and one for 2018.
City of Corvallis staff and City Council have been working on sustainability efforts for many years, with emphasis on minimizing the operational impacts on the environment. In the 1990s, the focus was on cost-saving aspects of projects that also had resource saving benefits i.e. identifying ways to reduce energy consumption and preserve financial resources. Sustainability wasn't a fully-understood concept at that time and staff didn't fully appreciate the additional benefits to the global environment from our cost-saving measures.
