Climate Action Plan
The City of Burlington has declared a Climate Emergency. We are developing a Climate Action Plan and making decisions with the climate as a major factor.
The initial engagement process for the Climate Action Plan is complete. It included:
- 5 pop-ups at community events over the summer,
- 2 public workshops in September and
- an online survey.
The information is now being assessed to help form the action plan. Key program areas are being developed to help the community transition away from the use of fossil fuels, particularly for buildings and transportation.
Information on key actions and implementation will be available during a
Public Open House
Thursday, Oct. 24 - 4 to 7:30 p.m.
Haber Community Centre, 3040 Tim Dobbie Dr.
The Sustainable Development Committee is also hosting a public session on Climate Action in Burlington:
Tuesday, Nov. 12 - 6:30 p.m.
Burlington Public Library, Central Branch, 2331 New St..
City staff will be presenting information on how the city is taking action on climate change. The Sustainable Development Committee is a city volunteer citizens advisory committee.
We can all make a difference in the decisions we make, whether it’s how we get around the city, the vehicles we purchase and improving the energy efficiency of our homes and businesses.
