Abstract
In 2009, Vancouver’s Greenest City Action Team was created. This group of local experts researched best practices from leading green cities around the world to make recommendations and establish goals and targets that would not only keep Vancouver green, but also make it the world’s greenest city. Their work—Vancouver 2020: A Bright Green Future—outlined 75 quick-start actions and tasked City staff with developing a robust implementation strategy.
