2006 Study: Climate Change & Aspen

In 2006, AGCI prepared a report for the City's Canary Initiative that focused on impacts to skiing but also included analysis of impacts to ecosystems, local economy, and the Roaring Fork River. Following the release of the 2006 report, the City of Aspen adopted a [Climate Action Plan] (http://www.aspenpitkin.com/Portals/0/docs/City/GreenInitiatives/Canary/C...) that called for local inventory and reductions in greenhouse gases. The adopted goal is to reduce emissions 30% by 2020 and 80% by 2050 (from 2004 base levels).
