This project investigates opportunities for the reduction of non-energy greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Metro Vancouver's drinking water treatment and transmission systems. A jurisdictional scan identified four important domains with high carbon emissions potential. The findings emphasize that procurement choices based on environmental produce declarations and sourcing sustainable alternatives are key to achieving climate-resilience in water systems.
