Learn more about climate change: Take part in Mississauga’s Climate Lab

By November 14, 2024Announcement, Issues

The City has launched Mississauga’s Climate Lab to share more information about the Climate Change Action Plan update and provide an opportunity for residents to share comments.

Mississauga is already feeling the impacts of climate change. This past year, the city has endured numerous extreme weather events – like heavy rainfall and extreme heat. It has been five years since the City’s first climate plan was approved, and a lot has changed in that time. The City needs to move quicker to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. That’s why the City is updating its 2019 Climate Change Action Plan (CCAP), and is encouraging you to participate. The City has launched Mississauga’s Climate Lab to share more information about climate change and provide an opportunity for residents to learn more about the update to the CCAP.

The CCAP is a ten-year road map for tackling Mississauga’s changing climate and sets out actions to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. As part of its commitment to update the plan at the five-year mark, the City is looking to set more ambitious GHG reduction targets aligned with the international goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.

Help shape the update to the Climate Change Action Plan

Mississauga’s Climate Lab is a platform to learn more about the importance of climate action and some of the City’s current initiatives. The platform is available for you to learn more about climate change and share your comments until December 20, 2024.
