Climate Close to Home: How Municipalities Can Lead the Way
Join Climate Legacy and the Group of 78 for a new webinar covering the pivotal role municipalities must play in the climate conversation. We're thrilled to be joined by two amazing panelists, and a moderator who many in Ottawa will be familiar with – two-term City Councillor and co-founder of CitySHAPES, Catherine McKenney!
Municipalities are linked to roughly half of Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions – they’re also the last stop for decisions around climate adaptation, which may decide the very survival of hundreds of communities in the coming years. While most climate activism tends to focus on federal or provincial governments, municipalities must play a role if we’re to reach our net-zero targets and withstand the impacts of a changing climate.
On September 22nd, Climate Legacy is excited to welcome three municipal leaders and expert consultants to discuss the key steps cities must take to adapt to climate change, as well as how municipalities can fund this work, and what the role of citizens will be in making this happen.
