climate transitions

A movement of 35+ collaboratives across 10 provinces and one US state that are advancing local climate action and equity through multi-sector partnerships and approaches that centre residents and the community. Launched in 2021, Climate Transitions helps build the capacity and skills of community changemakers –including leaders from municipalities, non-profits, community groups, businesses, and beyond– to collaborate and shift systems to achieve transformative change.
