WHO ARE WE?
ClimateActionWR is a collaboration between local organizations, community members, and municipalities within Waterloo Region focused on climate change mitigation.
Our community is working together to achieve Waterloo Region’s our long-term goal of an 80% greenhouse gas emission reduction (based on 2010 levels) by 2050 (80by50). The TransformWR strategy outlines our community’s pathway to 80by50, and identifies local actions that can be taken in Waterloo Region to reduce emissions 30% by 2030.
In June 2021, all eight area municipalities in Waterloo Region endorsed TransformWR: Waterloo Region’s Transition to an Equitable, Prosperous, Resilient, Low Carbon Community. With a strong climate action plan, our councils unanimously adopted an additional ambitious and science-backed short-term community goal to achieve a 50% greenhouse gas reduction by 2030.
Our Vision of the future
As a community, Waterloo Region has committed to reducing its local greenhouse gas emissions by 80% by 2050
Our progress
The first step towards becoming an innovative, low-carbon community is achieving our short-term target of 6% reduction by 2020. Our GHG re-inventory process is underway, and results will be available by the end of 2022!
