Measuring Calgary’s climate action
Climate action Measuring Calgary’s climate action
Measuring and tracking Calgary’s progress on climate action gives transparency to how we, as a community, are progressing toward our goals of a net-zero and a more climate-resilient city by 2050. It allows us to review the progress and impacts of our actions and change our approach if our projects and programs are not achieving the desired results.
The City of Calgary is committed to working with all Calgarians to lower our collective carbon emissions to net-zero by 2050 and reduce the impacts of climate change by planning and building a climate-resilient city. Climate action positions Calgary as an attractive city - both locally and globally - to live, do business, invest and visit.

The 2026 Climate Progress Report provides a final update on our implementation of the 2023-2026 Climate Implementation Plan.

Climate change creates risks and opportunities that affect Calgary’s economy, environment and community wellbeing. Managing these impacts is key to resilient, responsible municipal planning.
Climate and Environment Dashboard
The Climate and Environment Dashboard is a tool that helps you learn about what we are doing to make Calgary a more sustainable and environmentally friendly place to live. It tracks our progress in addressing our climate and environment objectives in one easy-to-access location. It allows Calgarians to monitor climate and environment metrics and track the status of our actions and their impacts.
View the dashboardAt The City, we're holding ourselves accountable on our role and effort in leading climate action. We have developed this dashboard to support how we evaluate, measure, and report on our progress. As we get farther down the pathway to 2050, our approaches will evolve and likely change depending on new data, new technologies, or new approaches to taking climate action.
Perspectives on Calgary Climate Change Surveys
The City conducts Perspectives on Calgary Surveys throughout the year to support City decision making. Research into attitudes and perceptions about climate change, extreme weather events, and energy efficiency have been conducted annually since 2018.
