Barrie's Community Energy and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Reduction Plan, 2022 includes 4 big moves and 18 supporting actions to reduce community-wide greenhouse gas emissions to support a pathway to net-zero by 2050
Brampton
Brampton’s Community Energy and Emissions Reduction Plan (CEERP) creates a roadmap that will improve energy efficiency, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, create economic advantage, ensure energy security, and increase Brampton’s resilience to climate change.
Burlington
The City of Burlington has developed a community-based Climate Action Plan. The plan includes seven key program areas to help the community transition away from the use of fossil fuels, particularly for buildings and transportation. Annual progress reports are presented to City Council. An updated plan will be presented to City Council in 2025.
Caledon
Resilient Caledon Plan, 2021 is a mitigation and adaptation plan.
Dufferin County
Dufferin's Climate Action Plan outlines a pathway for the community to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
Durham Region
The Durham Community Energy Plan (DCEP) accelerates the transition to a clean energy economy, while simultaneously achieving multiple economic and social benefits.
Guelph
The Community Energy Initiative (formerly Community Energy Plan – CEP) is Guelph’s commitment to use and manage energy differently, better, than the city has in the past. The main goal of the CEI is that Guelph will become a Net Zero Carbon community by 2050.
Halton Hills
Halton Hill's Low Carbon Transition Strategy establishes the action pathways necessary to achieving the target set to achieve net-zero carbon by 2030. The plan addresses de-carbonizing every aspect of town-wide GHG emissions, from homes to transportation to industry to agriculture and waste.
Halton Region
Hamilton
The Community Energy and Emissions Plan is a long-term plan to meet Hamilton’s future energy needs while improving energy efficiency, reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and fostering local sustainable and community-supported energy solutions. The plan includes every aspect of city-wide energy use and GHG emissions, from homes to transportation to industry to waste.
Kingston
Kingston's Climate Leadership Plan, 2021 is a corporate and community plan with mitigation and adaptation actions.
London
Climate Emergency Action Plan 2022 is a corporate and community plan with mitigation and adaptation actions.
Markham
Markham Centre’s Community Energy Plan, 2023 will guide energy-related decisions for both buildings and transportation and align new development with Markham’s goal for net-zero emissions by 2050.
Mississauga
Mississauga's Climate Change Action Plan, 2019 is a corporate and community plan with mitigation and adaptation actions.
Newmarket
Newmarket's Community Energy Plan, 2019 sets clear targets for greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions and clear actions for achieving those results.
Oakville
Oakville’s Community Energy Strategy will be updated in 2025. Oakville's Community Energy Strategy directly supports Council's climate emergency declaration by identifying actions needed to significantly lower community greenhouse gas emissions and improve our overall energy efficiency while strengthening the local economy.
Oshawa
Oshawa's Community Greenhouse Gas Reduction Plan achieves Milestone 3 of the Partners for Climate Protection by outlining the goal, objectives, scope and community stakeholder engagement strategy for citywide greenhouse gas reduction targets.
Ottawa
Energy Evolution sets the framework for what it will take for Ottawa to achieve these GHG emission reduction targets. It is a community energy transition strategy designed to manage energy consumption, promote the use of renewable energy and advance local economic development opportunities
in Ottawa.
Pickering
City of Pickering has adopted the Durham Community Energy Plan.
Richmond Hill
Richmond Hill’s Path to a Low-Carbon Future also known as the City’s Community Energy and Emissions Plan (CEEP) sets the goal of reaching net-zero emissions by 2050.
Toronto
TransformTO Net Zero Strategy triggers new and accelerated implementation actions to drive down community-wide emissions, particularly in the short term, and establishes the trajectory needed to reach net zero by 2040.
Vaughan
The Municipal Energy Planwas updated in 2024. An MEP update will be published annually beginning in 2025, which will include a portion on progress being made to reach emissions reductions targets.
Waterloo Region
TransformWR is Waterloo Region’s community-wide response to the global climate crisis. The document outlines Waterloo Region's long-term strategy to achieve an 80% local greenhouse gas emission (GHG) reduction target (based on 2010 levels), and identifies local action needed to reduce our emissions by 30% by the year 2030.
Community Energy Investment Strategy aims to improve and sustain Waterloo Region’s economic competitiveness and quality of life through the coordination of targeted energy investments.
Whitby
The Climate Emergency Response Plan: Phase 2: Mitigation was endorsed by Council at the Regular Council Meeting on Monday, December 18, 2023. The Plan focuses on climate mitigation and identifies the sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Whitby and provides guidance and recommendations to reach the Town’s community GHG emissions reduction target of net-zero by 2045. The Town of Whitby will work with the community to commence the actions outlined in the Implementation Plan which actively guides the Plan’s progress from 2024 to 2030.
