In 2009, the Partners for Climate Protection program (PCP) began gathering and analyzing data on initiatives implemented by municipal governments in Canada to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions at the corporate and community levels. The data was compiled in a National PCP Measures Database.

The database now contains more than 500 measures to reduce GHGs. Together, these initiatives represent nearly $400 million of investment into mitigation activities, and have reduced GHG emissions by 1.5 million tonnes.

A summary report on the analysis has been released for each reporting year to date. The results are clear: municipalities are significantly reducing GHG emissions in Canada, providing real solutions and leading the fight against climate change.
