Canadian Municipalities have influence over 56% of their GHG
emissions Mitigation - reduce emissions We Feel Direct &
Indirect Impacts Environmental Health Economic Adaptation - reduce
risk What Can We Do?
Slide 6
A Focus on Sustainability Good community planning can: Improve
health and safety in neighbourhoods Enable more active lifestyles
Reduce air pollution / GHGs Strengthen Local Economy Create Jobs
E.g. Home Energy Efficiency Improvements
Slide 7
Building Capacity and Community Leadership Greening Communities
/ Infrastructure Street Lighting (conversion to LEDs) Form a Local
Action Committee Active / Public Transportation Energy Efficiency
in Buildings Fleet Management
Slide 8
Building Capacity and Community Leadership Neighborhood
Planning / limit urban sprawl Renewable Energy (ie, Wind Power)
Public Education and Outreach Recycling / Composting Waste
Reduction Partnerships
Slide 9
Fleet Management Burning of carbon based fuel is the largest
source of GHG emissions New Brunswick Road network is 76, 600 km
Total vehicle distance traveled is over 1.9B km in 2004
Slide 10
Fleet Management Vehicles under 4.5 tonnes averaged 4,000
km/year Vehicles under 15 tonnes averaged 2,470 km/year Vehicles
over 15 tonnes averaged 29,700 km/year
Public Education & Outreach Strategy Goals: 1.Inform,
educate & build awareness 2.Develop Support 3.Encourage and
Motivate Action Hosted by the New Brunswick Lung Association The
New Brunswick Climate Change Hub
Slide 15
Objectives: 1.Build upon provincial network 2.Manage
sector-specific working groups 3.Support community groups 4.Build
capacity of Hub members 5.Operate as a clearinghouse 6.Conduct
outreach programs
Slide 16

NB Situation NB Power Electricity generation in New Brunswick
20MW of Wind in 2005 High winter peaks > 60% of homes use
electric heat > 80% of new homes use electric heat Highest
electric use per GDP www.nbpower.com
Slide 19
Slide 20
Greenhouse Gas Emissions In New Brunswick NB releases over 20
million tonnes of GHG each year. This accounts for 3% of Canadas
GHG emission total. Electricity generation accounts for almost half
of the GHG emissions in the province.
Slide 21
New Brunswick GHG Emissions 2001 (Total = 21.3 Mt CO 2
Equivalent) Source: Statistics Canada, Environment Canada Note:
Producer's Consumption is the energy used by the energy industry
including petroleum refining and electricity generation. Non-Energy
GHG are emissions from industrial & land uses such as
landfills, agriculture, etc.
Slide 22
An Energy Efficiency Organization for New Brunswick Objective:
To create a system to deliver energy efficiency and to reduce
energy demand. Goals: Improve the efficiency of energy use in all
sectors Reduce electricity demand Mitigate the need for additional
large power plants Maintain competitive energy rates for customers
Reduce greenhouse gas emissions
Slide 23
What Is Demand Side Management? Education of the market on the
cost of demand growth Promotion of efficient products and services
Efficient lighting Efficient heating and ventilation Efficient
industrial processing Fuel switching
Slide 24
How many MWs could we save if all the residential electric
space heat load converted to another fuel ? 181,241 electric space
heat customers X 6.2 kW per customer = 1,123 MW = 1,123,694 kW or

Global Warming Predictions say temperatures will increase
between 1.4-5.8 C in next 100 years Small changes in average
temperatures make a big difference Average temperatures today are
only about 5C warmer than they were during the last Ice Age
