Draft - Official Community Plan - Surrey 2050

Part A – Introduction

CITY PRIORITIES CONTINUED

3.5. Climate Resilience and a Healthy Natural Environment Surrey’s climate goals and environmental priorities are deeply interconnected. Surrey’s climate-related vision – established in its Climate Change Action Strategy – is to become a zero carbon, climate-resilient city by 2050. Policies related to transportation, land use, housing, utilities, biodiversity and natural spaces can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and help the city adapt to climate-related events. A healthy natural environment in which biodiversity can flourish is also essential to Surrey’s li vability and long-term resilience. Surrey’s natural systems, green spaces, and urban forests not only hold intrinsic value but also help the city adapt to climate change while providing vital co-benefits related to health, recreation, and community connection.
