ROYAL OAK The Royal Oak City Commission tasked staff in July with inventorying greenhouse gas emissions in the city to establish a baseline, and on Jan. 25, unanimously approved a resolution committing the city to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by 40% by 2030 while striving to reach net-zero carbon by 2050.
The resolution calls for the development of a citywide sustainability plan with an estimated completion date of early 2022. The resolution says that the Earth’s climate is changing faster than at any point in modern civilization, primarily as a result of human activities.
