Planning for Climate Emergencies

A climate emergency response is a specific approach to tackling climate change that seeks to mobilize and act at a scale and speed that will restore a safe climate, with the least possible loss and damage.

Since the City of Thunder Bay began to work on its Community Energy and Emissions Plan (CEEP) in late Fall 2019, City Council joined dozens of other city council’s across Canada, and countless more globally, to declare a state of Climate Emergency. This declaration is symbolic of the City’s strong commitment to ambitious climate change mitigations actions.

This questionnaire is meant to solicit ideas from the CEEP Stakeholder Advisor Group on how the CEEP should respond to the Climate Emergency Declaration. For some inspiration, we have attached the City of Vancouver’s Climate Emergency response report.
