Show your Council how much CO₂ your forests and wetlands already absorb
Why this report matters
Most net-zero and PCP (Partners for Climate Protection) frameworks only count new plantings, overlooking the ongoing carbon absorption of forests, wetlands, and grasslands that already exist. In Canada—with 318 billion trees and vast natural areas—this gap is significant.
What this report does
This report helps residents and councils create a planning-level appendix showing how much CO₂/CO₂e is absorbed by existing ecosystems. Reports include tables, charts, sequestration rates, and a draft Council motion to direct staff to add natural carbon sinks into annual GHG reporting.
