Climate Change

The County of Wellington has initiated an energy and emissions inventory and action plan to reduce our corporate and community greenhouse gas emissions. Supported by a grant from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) this two year project will complete up to Milestone 3 of the Partners for Climate Protection five milestone framework.

  • Milestone 1: Create a greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventory and forecast for corporate emissions and community emissions.
  • Milestone 2: Set an emissions reduction target.
  • Milestone 3: Develop a local action plan.
  • Milestone 4: Implement the local action plan or set of activities.
  • Milestone 5: Monitor progress and report results.

The project will assess greenhouse gas emissions from buildings, transportation, street lighting, waste and water/wastewater.
