This document provides an introduction to a climate action plan being developed for Northern Bruce Peninsula by a climate action committee comprised of volunteers with climate expertise. Several partner organizations are supporting the development of the plan, which commenced in late 2020 and aims to be completed in early 2022. The plan will include a community profile, greenhouse gas emissions inventory, research on local climate impacts, strategies to mitigate and adapt to climate change, and an approach to fund and manage the plan. Community members can get involved through surveys, consultations, and programs to share ideas and start taking climate action. Questions can be directed to the Climate Programs Manager or Bruce Peninsula Biosphere Association contact.
