COMMUNITY GHG EMISSIONS WITH REDUCTIONS UNDER THE LEGISLATIVE-ADJUSTED (LA) SCENARIO

MUNICIPAL EMISSIONS FORECAST Projections for the BAU scenario suggest that by 2030, municipal emissions will exceed the 2019 base year levels and increase by 47% by 2050 ( Figure 10 ). The largest emissions sectors for government operations are water and wastewater treatment, followed by the municipal fleet. The primary driver of future emissions increases is population growth. The City’s population is projected to rise from 182,937 in 2019 to 255,325 by 2050. This 40% growth in population means a corresponding increase in demand for municipal services.
