As part of their goals for the upcoming Community Climate Action Plan (CCAP), the District of Squamish is looking to expand the scope of emissions being addressed to include embodied carbon. A scan of other jurisdictional action plans, as well as a review of the current CCAP and other internal documents was conducted. The research was compiled and distilled into draft actions & recommendations for tackling embodied carbon in the new plan.
