Set net-zero targets and climate expenditure reporting
Climate & environment · Dec 20, 2021
What changed
Council directed a net-zero-by-2050 target, sector-specific interim targets, reporting on climate actions and spending, and work on City buildings.
City Clerk's Council and Committee Votes · reviewed Oct 30, 2026Why this decision is included
An explicit net-zero target and reporting direction supplies formal-commitment evidence. It shares a framework family with the subsequent implementation strategy.
How votes are grouped: The target/reporting direction and subsequent Pathways-to-2050 strategy are phases of one climate framework. They share one family rather than becoming two independent policy commitments.
What Yes meant
Adopt the target and accountability directions.
What No meant
Reject this package of climate-target and reporting directions.
Alternatives and outcome
Adopt these formal directions, retain earlier targets or propose different commitments.
Council adopted the directions. Targets and reporting requirements do not by themselves establish achieved emissions reductions.
adoptedA recorded vote or adoption does not establish that a project or service was delivered.

Only reviewed policy choices are scored. Each independent decision family counts once per measure; choices within one budget or policy package share that family’s weight. statements, promises, absences and contextual amendments do not contribute. Two decisions are the minimum for a position. The sensitivity range shows the score after removing one decision at a time; it is not a statistical confidence interval or a prediction.
