Municipal Operations Implementation Committee
The city has made significant investments to reduce its municipal operations GHG footprint, which declined 38% from 2005 to 2017. Bethlehem has not completed a GHG inventory for municipal operations since 2017 and recognizes that doing so is a high priority for tracking continued progress and leading by example.
The Municipal Operations Implementation Committee meets with the ideas and goals from this section in mind.
