Canada is a great place to live
Climate action is how we can make sure Canadians can have the future we want:
a great life, in a great community, in a great country.
Here's How
We start by finding climate solutions that make sense:
-
solutions that are easy, affordable, and desirable
-
solutions that improve our lives
-
solutions that strengthen our communities
-
solutions that build our country
Climate Action Canada offers ideas to help climate leaders design better climate plans and programs.
These ideas will lead to:
-
Better Climate Plans
-
A Thousand Climate Plans
Better Climate Plans
The big difference is to design a climate plan from the bottom up.
- Start with people and communities. They are our clients.
- Work with community groups, organizations, and businesses. They are our allies. Find common ground and a common vision.
- Develop integrated solutions. Climate friendly solutions that support communities and local economies.
- Collaborate. Find where you can lead, where you need help, and how you can help others.
- Find solutions people want. If climate solutions are to be effective in the long run, they must be easy, affordable, and (above all) desirable.
A Thousand Climate Plans
The other big difference is to design not just one big climate plan, but a thousand interconnected plans from communities, businesses, organizations, and governments. Each plan reflects the needs, aspirations, available resources, and commitment of those who draft it. And a thousand plans leads to the level of action and commitment that will to get us to the future we want.
