Climate action in Greater Sudbury
MAY 28, 2019, GREATER SUDBURY UNANIMOUSLY DECLARED A CLIMATE EMERGENCY, MADE CLIMATE ACTION A PRIORITY AND SET A PATH FOR A PLAN TO REDUCE OUR CARBON EMISSIONS TO NET ZERO BY 2050, AND TO PROTECT OUR COMMUNITY FROM CLIMATE IMPACTS. Thank you to Council and to all who helped make this happen. As a City and as a community, we now begin the work in earnest to reduce our carbon emissions and prepare for climate impacts. Stay connected so that we can all contribute by continuing to be a voice for climate action and/or taking personal action.
On November 12, 2019, Council approved taking the next steps on Greater Sudbury’s draft Community Energy and Emissions Plan. On September 22, 2020, Council unanimously approved the final plan. Here is their first implementation plan for City actions 2021-2025. Here is our review of that plan: full analysis, and one-page summary. On Feb. 27, 2024, the City presented their Climate Action Update up to 2022, with proposed actions to 2028. Although the report showed many climate actions taken by the City, it also showed we are not on track to reach net zero by 2050 or meet our science-based targets to reduce emissions. Read that report here, and our tracking of CEEP ‘primary actions’ here.
In 2023, Council adopted a Community Climate Adaptation Plan, and approved a senior Climate Resilience position to coordinate implementation of the City’s climate mitigation and adaptation. However, during 2024 budget deliberations, Council deferred a decision on funding the Climate Resilience Officer until 2025.
