Climate Action

Over 400 municipalities, including the City of Cornwall, have joined Partners for Climate Protection to help deliver action in response to climate change.

Climate Action Plan (CAP)

A Climate Action Plan (CAP) is a comprehensive plan that focuses on mitigating harmful greenhouse gases in the corporation and in the community. It is a strategy to help municipalities, provinces and Canada set targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and build resiliency to climate change impacts. The CAP outlines how Cornwall will adapt the policies, operations and services required to prepare for climate change. The plan was created with the help of Pinna Sustainability.

National CAP

The Government of Canada set out a national CAP to reduce emissions by 40 to 45 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030. These efforts will build upon the long-term goal for Canada to become a net-zero country by 2050. You can learn more about the national CAP.
