Climate Policy Database

Welcome to the Climate Policy Database. This database showcases municipal plans and policies related to climate change developed by the Climate Action Council member municipalities. It is a one-stop shop that allows municipalities and communities to explore what policies have been developed by the municipalities to address climate change.

Currently, 17 types of actions are being tracked and these actions span across different municipal sectors, including transportation, land use, buildings and more. This progress report will be updated annually.

The CAC tracks all the climate policies and actions implemented by the member municipalities. The climate policies can be viewed in this Climate Policy Progress Report, and the implemented climate mitigation actions can be viewed in the Climate Action Atlas.
