The City of Toronto has implemented the TransformTO Net Zero Strategy™, which is a net-zero carbon emission goal by 2040. The city would like to showcase building carbon emissions and energy consumption publicly online in order to implement regulations pushing toward the Net Zero Existing Building strategy.

  • Toronto surpassed its 2020 target of a 30% reduction in GHG emissions from a 1990 baseline. However, 2020 was an anomaly year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Continued ambitious climate actions and programs will be critical to reaching the City's 2025 target of 45% GHG emissions reduction. Further, these efforts must be scaled up to reach Toronto's future targets of a 65% reduction by 2030 and net zero by 2040.
