The City of Fort Collins is excited to share its 2020 Community Carbon Inventory for the Climate Action Plan (CAP). The Inventory is used to track progress on the goals of CAP that are to be 20% below 2005 levels of greenhouse gas emissions by 2020, 80% by 2030, and carbon neutral by 2050.

 The 2020 Inventory shows that as a community, Fort Collins is 24% below 2005 levels. Like everything in people’s lives during 2020, greenhouse gas emissions were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. This report gives an overview of these impacts, other changes in the inventory, and highlights some key successes.
