Figure 5.1: Target reductions in greenhouse gas emissions for the City of Miami from the
buildings, transportation, energy, and land use sectors. If no reductions are achieved,
emissions levels will increase to a business as usual level of 5.7 million metric tons of CO2,
by 2020. However, if all the targeted reductions are achieved in all sectors, then emissions
will drop to 3.6 million metric tons CO2, by 2020, which is the City's goal of 25% of 2006
levels by 2020.
