Understanding where Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions come from is an important part of taking climate action. The Capital Regional District (CRD) is making that information more accessible by launching the new interactive GHG Inventory Dashboard.
The dashboard provides a simple, visual way to explore emissions and energy use data from across the region. Users can select a year and municipality or electoral area to view information on greenhouse gas emissions, energy use, population data, and per capita emissions across the CRD.
The tool is designed to make regional emission data easier to understand and use. While GHG inventories have long been publicly available, the information is within detailed reports that can be dense and hard to navigate. The new dashboard allows users to find key information at a glance without having to sort through technical documents.
Interactive charts and visualizations make it easy to compare data over time and see how emissions and energy use have changed across communities. The dashboard also breaks information down by emissions sector, helping users better understand where emissions come from.
By turning complex data into easy-to-navigate visuals, the dashboard helps users gain a clearer understanding of emissions and energy use throughout the region. For those looking to dive deeper, the dashboard also serves as a gateway to the CRD's greenhouse gas inventory reports, where more details and analysis are available.
