The climate is changing, and here in Eastern Ontario, we are already experiencing the impact of this climate crisis. As many of us are aware, urgent and rapid collective action is needed to limit further warming and protect our futures. Many of our daily activities can emit greenhouse gasses and affect the climate. This means that we all have a role to play in reducing our impact on the planet. No action is too big or small. It’s never too late to find ways to support climate action now.
Canada has pledged to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. Municipalities control approximately 44% of national GHG emissions and are critical in helping Canada achieve its reduction targets. Participating in the Partners for Climate Protection five-step Milestone Framework, the Town is developing a Climate Action Plan, a multi-year strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Smiths Falls, with the help of the Climate Protection Working Group (CPWG), a council-appointed environmental advisory committee.
The data collected from this survey will inform Milestone 2 of the 5-step Milestone Framework, bringing us one step closer to creating a Climate Action Plan.
