Metropolitan Mayors Caucus Environment Committee: Updates on Comprehensive Climate Action Plan, Greenhouse Gas Inventory
During Chicago Climate Week, join the Caucus and the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) for an overview of two complementary climate planning efforts: the Comprehensive Climate Action Plan for Greater Chicago (CCAP) and the ongoing 2025 update to the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) inventory.
The Comprehensive Climate Action Plan for Greater Chicago (CCAP) was developed by the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) in collaboration with the Caucus and the Northwestern Indiana Regional Planning Commission (NIRPC). The plan outlines the region’s pathway toward netzero emissions by 2050 and identifies strategies to reduce emissions for all major sources. The CMAP team will share emissions reduction scenarios that illustrate how regional greenhouse gas emissions could change under different levels of federal, state, and local action. The team will also present core strategies with the greatest potential impact and invite discussion on what municipalities and stakeholders need to successfully implement the plan.
The Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Inventory provides municipal-, county- and regional-level greenhouse gas data that is foundational for climate planning, target setting and implementation. As CMAP works to update the inventory, the team is looking to engage with the Environment and Energy Committee to understand how municipalities have used the GHG inventory in the past, and what they hope to see out of future GHG inventories.
