Burbank Water and Power: "Climate Action Leader"

In 2007, Burbank Water and Power was awarded the title of "Climate Action Leader" for proactively registering its 2005 greenhouse gas emissions with the California Climate Action Registry. The Registry is a nonprofit/private partnership that serves as a voluntary greenhouse gas (GHG) registry to protect, encourage, and promote early actions to reduce GHG emissions.

BWP is dedicated to helping create a sustainable environment for Burbank. To meet this challenge, BWP is reducing its carbon footprint by supporting and promoting early actions on climate change. This includes our commitment for 33% of Burbank’s electricity coming from renewable resources by 2020.

The Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 requires all California businesses to limit their greenhouse gas emissions beginning in 2012 and reducing them to 1990 levels by 2020. In getting a jump on our greenhouse gas inventory, BWP can rely upon verified information from which to base future policy decisions.

BWP’s 2005 GHG emissions report is available for review. From the drop-down menus, select ‘2005’ for the Reporting Year and ‘Burbank Water and Power, City of Burbank’ for the Entity Name.
