Climate is something that impacts our day to day lives. Locally, each municipality has faced the impacts of severe weather, flooding, and increased hot and cold days. The world is on its way to reaching and surpassing the 1.5°C threshold that has been identified as the upper limit of global temperature increase to keep us within a safe range of climate change impacts. The world has to stay below this threshold and lower emissions 40% to 50% by 2030, or effects will be long lasting or irreversible.
Greenhouse Gas Reduction Plan
Perth County, North Perth, Perth East, Perth South, West Perth, and Stratford and St. Marys have partnered to address the risks and take action on climate change within the communities. Each municipal action impacts one another, so it is important to work together to address the greater impacts that climate change will bring. This plan identifies various actions and strategies to move forward on increasing adaptability and reducing greenhouse gas emissions within the community.
Our vision is to mitigate climate change risks by ambitiously reducing local greenhouse gas emissions, and will ensure a more resilient and healthy future for our communities.
