In 2019, the City of Mississauga released its first ever comprehensive Climate Change Action Plan, with two main goals to tackle climate change, both corporately and in the community.
-
Goal #1: Mitigation: Reduce greenhouse gas emissions 80% by 2050, with the long term goal of Goal becoming a net zero community
-
Goal #2: Adaptation: Increase resilience and the capacity of the city to withstand and respond to future climate events by taking action on the highest climate-related risks
The Plan is broken up into five action pathways. The focus for this theme will be Action Pathway #3: Accelerating Discovery & Innovation and, more specifically, Action Pathway #16: Provide Strategic Direction on the Management and Diversion of Municipal Waste and Litter.
Within those action pathways, the theme will focus on the following actions:
-
Sub-action 16-2: Develop and maintain industry and community partnerships to provide consistency, control operational costs, and improve waste diversion rates
-
Sub-action 16-3: Explore opportunities to implement the circular economy to reduce waste
