West Lafayette Commits to Climate Dashboard by 2027 for Emissions Tracking
West Lafayette's city council has approved a resolution to establish a climate dashboard by 2027, aimed at monitoring greenhouse gas emissions from city operations. This initiative is part of the Greater Lafayette Climate Action Plan, which targets a 58% emissions reduction by 2030.

The West Lafayette city council has unanimously approved a resolution to develop a climate dashboard by 2027. This initiative is part of the Greater Lafayette Climate Action Plan, which aims to reduce emissions by 58% by 2030.
The City Wastewater Treatment Utility will present annual emissions reports every July, supplemented by a report from the city resiliency officer in January. The dashboard will specifically focus on emissions from city operations, such as the police department and city hall, rather than the city as a whole.
Future considerations may include tracking metrics related to citizen solar energy and electric vehicle charging. Purdue University has yet to join the climate action plan, prompting a renewed invitation from council members.
