About
Our work will result in reducing 20 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) (carbon ton equivalent) per year by 2027, twice the amount the entire state of Vermont produced in 2007. This is equal to eliminating the need for seven 300 MW coal plants or removing 4 million cars from our roads. This work will generate net economic benefits in 2027 of $1.5 billion.
We will ensure that at least 10% of the GHG and fiscal savings we create in 2027 will be from work that benefits low-income people.
As a community, we will reduce the average GHG footprint per staff person by 50% as measured against the 2007 VEIC per-employee average, incorporating both business and personal GHG emissions.
