Greenhouse Gas Strategy (GNWT, March 2001)
The Northwest Territories Greenhouse Gas Strategy (March 2001) outlines a coordinated plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the NWT through five thematic approaches: enhancing public awareness, demonstrating government leadership, encouraging sectoral action, promoting technology innovation, and building knowledge foundations. The strategy aims to reduce annual emissions by approximately 47 kilotonnes of CO2 while supporting Canada's Kyoto Protocol obligations and addressing climate change impacts specific to northern regions.
