The Climate Budget series showcases municipal approaches to climate budgeting, answering key questions related to staff engagement during development, generating buy-in, and overall budget effectiveness.
In this first session, the City of Vancouver shared their approach, including key steps throughout development and implementation.
This webinar summarized what we have learned from the Climate Governance, Accountability, and Implementation CAC Series. We shared different structures of climate governance and ways for municipalities to be answerable and transparent about the actions required to mitigate and adapt to climate change effectively. We reported back on feedback we gathered during our in-person workshop on December 8, 2023, and we collected additional insights on ways to support the more progressive implementation of municipal climate actions.

In this webinar, Sustainability Solutions Group (SSG) presented their new GHG Calculator for Municipalities, a free tool for municipal staff across all departments who want to understand the climate impact of their decisions.
This tool was designed by SSG together with the City of Calgary, Region of Durham, and City of Ottawa so that they could quickly understand the greenhouse gas implications of policies and decisions, such as instituting a composting program or adopting a policy to reduce greenfield development.

In this fifth webinar of the series, Jillian Curley and Amanda Burke shared experiences from the implementation of Calgary’s Climate Adaptation Plan. Amanda and Jillian talked about what has supported Calgary’s success in moving from plan to action, and outlined some examples of resilience projects and programs from each of the plan’s core themes: People, Built Infrastructure; Natural Infrastructure; and Water. They also talked briefly about measuring progress, how their Climate Adaptation Team is structured to work cross-corporately on project delivery, and how funding is allocated for adaptation projects.
