Central Ohio Green Pact

     

In 2007, City of Columbus Mayor Michael B. Coleman joined with elected officials from 12 other local jurisdictions in developing and signing the Central Ohio Green Pact. The Pact represents a new, multi-jurisdictional commitment to make our region more sustainable starting with policies that enhance and protect the quality of life, environment and economic vitality. The Pact outlines ten general values communities should hold to preserve natural resources, to increase green space, reduce our consumption of raw materials and increase recycling.

Now coordinated by MORPC, the network of Pact members includes 27 local governments and other significant organizations.

Carbon Footprint Analysis

MORPC and Ameresco have teamed up to offer Pact members a free energy audit. This audit helps to prepare communities for the potential of future carbon regulations and will help to find costly inefficiencies. To see if you qualify or to schedule your analysis contact Shari at 614.233.4125.

View the Carbon Footprint Assessment and Reduction Workbook (.xls - 5 MB)(Workbook Instructions). This tool was created by the City of Columbus and The Ohio State University Center for Resilience to provide an easy-to-use public domain tool for municipalities to calculate greenhouse gas emissions and analyze impacts from emissoin reduction projects.
