Declaration on Climate Change

The Declaration on Climate Change serves as the work plan for the CAC. The Declaration identifies common priority areas for collaborative actions and is aligned with Ontario’s four-year municipal election cycle. At the start of each council term, member municipalities identify their priority environmental actions. The most common and high-priority actions become Declaration commitments until the next council term. For each Declaration item, targets are set, and results are tracked via the Progress Report to show progress towards achieving Declaration goals.

The CAC tracks all the climate policies and actions implemented by the member municipalities. The climate policies can be viewed in the Policy Progress Report and the implemented climate mitigation actions can be viewed in the Climate Action Atlas below:

Climate Policy Progress Report

The Progress Report is a live document hosted on the Clean Air Council website, where past actions are presented via municipal plans/statements/frameworks related to climate change. [The Progress Report is currently in Development]

Climate Action Atlas

The Climate Action Atlas is a live tool hosted on the Clean Air Partnership website. It showcases municipal climate mitigation actions implemented by the CAC members and inspires municipalities and communities to take up new and creative approaches to reduce the severity of climate change and build a more equitable and resilient society.
