WHERE
WE ARE
In 2018, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change (IPCC) released the 15th Special Report
Global Warming of 1.5°, which indicated global
Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions had to be halved by
2030 in order to reduce the impact of climate change.
In the Municipality of the County of Kings (the
Municipality), there is a strong focus on reducing GHG
emissions and planning for future impacts of climate
change.
WHERE WE
ARE GOING
In addition to outlining planned projects that aim to
target climate mitigation measures, this plan outlines a
culture shift taking place within the organization
to one that is climate-focused, while improving service
delivery.
By setting lofty stretch targets, the Municipality has
positioned itself to be a leader in climate mitigation
and adaptation.
Work outlined in this plan is guided by and grounded in
five Key Strategic Priorities mandated through the
Municipality's Strategic Plan:
Good Governance
Environmental Stewardship
Economic Development
Strong Communities
Financial Sustainability
