CLIMATE ACTION TRACKER

The Climate Action Tracker (climateactiontracker.surrey.ca) was developed to provide information about the City's progress towards achieving the targets, goals and actions established in the CCAS. The Tracker will help the City communicate and transparently report on progress, promoting accountability. Information from the Tracker will also be used for annual progress reports. In 2024, the Community Energy Association (“CEA”) awarded the city with the 2024 Climate & Energy Action Award for its Climate Action Tracker. This recognition highlights the portal as one of the first of its kind in British Columbia, setting a new benchmark for transparent reporting and accountability. The Climate Action Tracker plays a pivotal role in supporting the City’s commitment to achieving the targets, goals, and actions outlined in its Climate Change Action Strategy (“CCAS”). The Tracker is a dynamic tool - its content will be continuously updated, and new features will be added as they are developed over time. In particular, additional measures and targets will be added to the Tracker to strengthen how progress is monitored and reported.
