Eugene, OR – According to the city officials, the report highlights progress in five key areas: transportation, buildings, waste, consumption, and resilience.

Eugene was among the first cities in the nation to set goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, a decade ago, with the passage of the Climate Recovery Ordinance.

The city continued its leadership in climate action with the development of the Climate Action Plan 2.0 in 2020.

Significant milestones include the construction of a digester at the wastewater treatment facility, which converts methane from solid waste into renewable natural gas; the completion of protected bikeways on 13th Avenue and High Street; and the launch of an electric vehicle carshare pilot program at an affordable housing complex.
