Description	In May 2002, the Boulder City Council passed Resolution 906, also known as the Kyoto Resolution, setting the goal of reducing community greenhouse gas emissions to seven percent below 1990 levels by 2012. As a result of this resolution, staff in the Office of Environmental Affairs was directed to develop an action plan to serve as a roadmap to Boulder’s Kyoto goal.  The overarching vision of the Plan is to develop a sustainable energy future for Boulder and Boulder County. The Climate Action Plan provides a framework to compare and analyze alternative strategies and policies, in order to facilitate Council’s review and the decision-making process. The Plan includes baseline data and emissions reduction strategies for all sectors— commercial, industrial, residential, transportation, and solid waste. It also addresses city operations, water conservation and urban forestry.
