Updating the Climate Change Action Plan
The Climate Change Action Plan Update
The City is updating the 2019 Climate Change Action Plan (CCAP) to set more ambitious targets aligned with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) recommendations aimed at limiting global warming to 1.5º Celsius.
Recent work has focused on technical modelling of greenhouse gas emissions and collaboration with the City's Technical Advisory Group to identify decarbonization pathways. The project is now entering the public consultation phase, where technical findings will be shared with the community for input.

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% 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
Current Status of the Climate Change Action Plan
As of Winter 2024 out of 89 actions:
- 54 actions have been completed, including 41 continuous improvement actions
- 31 actions are underway
- 4 actions have not been started
