Summary
As introduced, Bill 34-267 would codify the 2050 carbon neutrality commitment, as well as add interim targets for greenhouse gas reductions between 2025 and 2050. It would require the District to achieve carbon neutrality for emissions associated with District government operations by 2040, and prepare an inter-agency action plan for achieving this goal. The legislation would revise the 50% target to 2030, to align with the recent 2030 target announced by the Biden Administration. It would also require the Department of Energy and the Environment to report annually on the District’s progress toward these targets.
