Climate Leadership Plan

This project page will be updated on Sept. 22, 2021, to include the draft Climate Leadership Plan Summary Report and community survey.

Help shape the Climate Leadership Plan. This plan will provide strategic guidance for how the City can achieve carbon neutrality no later than 2040, with similar goals for the community.

Residents and business owners are invited and empowered to be part of this work by completing a brief survey. Responses will help the City’s Project Team understand how the community can take climate action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and how the City can support these efforts.

Through the survey, we will learn about:

• the types of climate action you are most interested in directly participating within Kingston;
• barriers you may currently face with reducing your carbon footprint at home, work and on the road;
• the types of programs that would provide the support you need; and
• you will also have an opportunity to submit general feedback and tell us where you think the City should focus its climate action efforts to achieve the greatest impact.

Goals of the Climate Leadership Plan

1. Define a clear path to reach corporate and community carbon neutrality.
2. Engage the most influential local stakeholders who can make the biggest GHG reductions.
3. Identify climate risks and adaptation priorities.
4. Consider solutions that stimulate economic development and prosperity.
