Transitioning to low carbon energy sources is good for more than our bottom line. I’ve got a Mike Pence fly flying around me here.
Savings and revenue would start to exceed annual investments in 2032 with a projected net return of $87.7 billion for investments made by 2050. These two things are not mutually exclusive. The good news is and again this is something mentioned before, doing good for the environment and fiscal responsibility go hand in hand. Meeting our targets outlined today will require an estimated $52.6 billion on top of planned investments over the next 30 years. We’re going to need collaboration, investment from all sectors and all levels of government. Now it’s important to note and we’ll say I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again this is not a plan that we can accomplish alone.
Today staff will present an ambitious plan to reach these targets. Council also declared a climate emergency last year, highlighting our commitment to protect our economy, ecosystems and community from the impacts of climate change. I know I’ve had the please, originally sat on a sponsors group with Councillors Nussbaum, Brockington and Chernushenko which then led into this term and we have our, our sponsors group that are help overseeing matters related to Climate Change Master Plan as well so thank you to everyone involved who helped us get to this point.Įarlier this year, as you know, Council approved targets to reduce emissions by 100 per cent by 2040 within the corporation and by 2050 Ottawa wide. We’ve been working on this for quite a while. So today we have a technical briefing on the final report for Energy Evolution, a City strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, manage energy use, promote renewable energy and advance local economic development opportunities. It’s actually had over 500 views on YouTube and is still there and available to be viewed. Uh and it went, uh it was quite well received. We want to build on what was a very successful technical briefing that we held several months ago just at the beginning of the pandemic in our virtual lives. Thank you so much Byrne and welcome to everyone here, welcome members of Council to staff and media. I now pass things over to Councillor Scott Moffatt, Chair of the Standing Committee on Environmental Protection, Water and Waste Management, who will begin today’s briefing.
