CT’s Latest Climate Report Shows Emissions in 2023 Decreased in the Two Largest Sources of Climate Pollution: Transportation and Buildings

(HARTFORD) — The Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (“DEEP”) published its latest Greenhouse Gas (“GHG”) Emissions Inventory, a comprehensive documentation of Connecticut’s air pollution that contributes to climate change. DEEP has issued this report since 2003, and also now in accordance with Public Act 25-125, signed into law by Governor Lamont earlier this month.

“Connecticut deserves credit for tracking emissions as the state works to meet clear, scientifically driven goals to reduce climate pollution” said Daniel Sosland, president of Acadia Center. “Acadia Center thanks DEEP for making emissions information publicly available, allowing the state and stakeholders to see where progress is being made and better adjust to challenges in the effort to build a clean energy economy. Addressing climate is essential to positioning Connecticut for a stronger economic future, reducing energy costs, and making needed improvements in housing and transportation that will improve the quality of life in its communities.”
