During the 02/19/2025 Common Council meeting, Alderperson Patrick Hayden (District 7) introduced resolution 2-R-25 entitled “Appleton Sustainability Advisory Panel’s Emissions Reduction Recommendation.”
The city currently has a goal to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 or earlier. If passed as written, this resolution would change that goal to “a new objective of reducing net emissions by 50%—from 27,198 metric tons CO2e to approximately 13,600 metric tons CO2e—by 2034,” and maintain the original goal of net-zero emissions by 2050 as “an aspirational stretch goal” that is “contingent upon our electrical utility supplier meeting its Scope II target.”
The resolution has been referred to the Parks and Recreation Committee.
