In early 2015, the Fort Collins City Council adopted a Climate Action Plan with substantial goals to reduce community greenhouse gas emissions 20 percent below 2005 levels by 2020, 80 percent below 2005 levels by 2030, and be carbon neutral by 2050. 2. As part of this plan, the City formed a Community Advisory Committee (CAC) to help guide the City's efforts on greenhouse gas emission reductions. The committee started meeting in January 2016, and includes a broad spectrum of business, social, and community representatives. 3.
