Community Activation – Heather Wheeliker, Barbara Daly, Lisa Dockman (Thursday, October 17, 13:30 – 14:00)
The City has a tremendous responsibility and a social and economic opportunity to be a leader in the climate space. It’s not about being “less bad” or having less. Rather, it’s about doing things smartly, more efficiently, so that long-term costs are less. It’s approaching all of our projects, whether infrastructure, social or economic, with a climate lens. But we also need support from one million residents to meet the goals of Edmonton’s Community Energy Transition Strategy and Action Plan and Climate Resilient Edmonton: Adaptation Strategy and Action Plan. This presentation highlights successful programs, a suite of tools and mechanisms that mobilize Edmontonians to take action. Let’s make a Change for Climate…together.
