NWT greenhouse gas strategy, 2007-2011 : a strategy to control greenhouse gas emissions in the NWT

In 1998, the Government of the Northwest Territories (GNWT) committed to working with federal and provincial governments to develop an equitable approach to Canada's international commitment to reduce national emissions to 6% below 1990 levels by the year 2012. The first step toward this commitment was the release of the NWT greenhouse gas strategy in 2001. This revised strategy builds on the knowledge and experience gained since 2001. It commits the GNWT to lead through example by adopting a target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from its own operations to 10% below 2001 levels by the year 2011. The report includes actions to encourage and assist other sectors to develop their own emission management plans and targets, and commits the GNWT to establish longer-term targets beyond 2011 by undertaking another review in 2010.--Includes text from document.
