Carrboro Continues to Fight Challenges With Reducing Its Greenhouse Gas Emissions
While new data shows Carrboro’s greenhouse gas emissions have decreased by 9% from 2012 to 2019, the town government remains behind on meeting the goals of its climate response plans without action from North Carolina’s utility companies or the state or federal government.
In an attempt to reach an 80% reduction in 2010 levels of greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, Carrboro adopted the Energy and Climate Protection Plan in 2014 along with the Community Climate Action Plan in 2017. The earlier plan focused on reducing the emissions of town operations, while the latter laid out ways the town can help members of the community lower their individual emissions.
