Project Profile
OCP Updates for GHG Targets, Policies, and Actions
PROJECT SNAPSHOT
Client: District of Ucluelet
Key Deliverable: Emissions Analysis, Background Report, OCP Climate Action Chapter, Indicators and Monitoring System
Timeline: April - June 2010
Our Role: The WCS assisted Ucluelet with background research and the preparation of an OCP amendment that describes how the community will incorporate GHG targets, policies, and actions. This is a requirement for all local governments in BC to meet by May 31st, 2010 (May 31st, 2011 for Regional Districts).
Project Details
The Centre has just completed an new chapter for Ucluelet’s OCP to incorporate Greenhouse Gas targets, policies and actions tailored for the District. Already a leader in green buildings and sustainable development practices, Ucluelet’s progressive GHG policies now clearly outline the role of local government, the timeline for implementing GHG measures, and address all of the seven areas that a local government can influence:
- Land Use and Development;
- Transportation;
- Buildings;
- Public Infrastructure and Facilities;
- Community Energy Systems;
- Solid Waste; and
- Awareness, Education and Outreach.
Along with the OCP update, the Centre also prepared a background report, identified appropriate GHG indicators, and created a spreadsheet-based data entry and monitoring system for these indicators.
