In 2006, Evanston signed the U.S. Mayors Climate Protection Agreement, pledging to reduce Evanston's greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 7 percent below 1990 levels by the year 2012 — the target set by the Kyoto Protocol for developed countries. Based on an inventory of Evanston's 2005 emissions, this translates into a 13 percent reduction by 2012 to meet this goal.
