The City is updating the 2019 Climate Change Action Plan (CCAP) to set more ambitious targets aligned with the IPCC’s recommendations aimed at limiting global warming to 1.5º Celsius.
About the 2019 Climate Change Action Plan
The City’s 2019 Climate Change Action Plan (CCAP) is a 10-year road map for tackling the impacts of our changing climate. It sets out actions to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and help the City increase its resiliency to withstand and respond to current and future climate events. The plan currently includes the goal of reducing Mississauga’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 40 per cent by 2030, and 80 per cent by 2050.
The CCAP sets out actions to reduce the City’s GHG emissions and help increase its resiliency, along with its capacity to withstand and respond to current and future climate events. The City aims to reduce its GHG emissions by 40% by 2030, and 80% by 2050.
The City plans to reach these goals through a total of 89 actions which are to be implemented over the next 5 to 10 years. These actions are grouped into five different action pathways, including:
Buildings and Clean Energy
Resilient and Green Infrastructure
Accelerating Discovery and Innovation
Low Emissions Mobility
Engagement and Partnerships
Why are we updating the Climate Change Action Plan?
In alignment with recommendations set by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, the City is planning to update the current Climate Change Action Plan to accelerate our targets and action pathways.
Current Status of the Climate Change Action Plan
