The Climate Change Project

Climate change is real and it's happening. Within the last five years, Mississauga has experienced more intense heat waves, rain, flooding and winter storms. It's predicted that these trends will continue in the future.

We're setting out to create our first Climate Change Action Plan to prepare Mississauga for the impacts of a changing global climate. We'll be engaging residents, business and local partners to create responsible and forward-looking solutions for both the City and community.

Have an idea or a question to ask? Tell us.

    · Ecosource

    · Domino’s pizza

    · The Arepa...

    The City is currently wrapping up our Background Studies Phase. We have been busy gathering data to support the development of the Climate Change Action Plan. Study topics include land use, municipal fleet, infrastructure vulnerability assessments, clean tech sector assessment, energy mapping, community greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions footprint analysis, and community climate risk assessments. All of the information from this phase of the project will feed into the Action Planning Phase which kicks off in the fall of 2018.

    Our Community Engagement and Outreach is now underway. Get involved by telling us Your Climate Story and check out...
