Below is a graph of overall, community-wide emissions in the City of Evansville. The graph shows historical emissions from 2019 to 2023, as well as projections in two scenarios: business as usual, or if the City achieves its Climate Action Plan reduction targets.
Evansville's 2023 Community-Wide Greenhouse Gas Inventory estimates total emissions of 2,779,254.94 MTCO2e. Stationary Energy accounts for 78.6% of emissions, followed by Transportation at 15.0% and Solid Waste & Wastewater at 6.4%.
The City's 2025 Climate Action Plan establishes two emissions reduction targets:
30% reduction below the 2023 baseline by 2030
80% reduction below the 2017 baseline by 2050
This inventory was conducted in collaboration with ClimateNav following the Global Protocol for Community-Scale GHG Emission Inventories (GPC) at the BASIC+ reporting level.
