Climate Action In 2011, the city adopted a Climate Action Plan for Everett 2014 Energy and Carbon Footprint Municipal Operations. The plan identified the greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) generated from Source End Use 1527 BBTUs city operations as well as identified actions the city Electricity Generation Residential can take to reduce its carbon footprint.

These compact land use patterns have great potential to reduce GHG emissions related to vehicles and building energy use. In 2016, the city had a carbon wedge analysis prepared by Climate Solutions' New Energy Cities program and the Stockholm Environment Institute. The priority recommendations in its report are: • Encouraging cleaner vehicles and lower carbon fuels for transport • Reducing vehicle miles traveled • Reducing natural gas consumption for heating through energy conservation and building efficiency Chapter 10,Environment,Parks and Open Space 2 August 29,2018
