Video Series: Climate in Focus

Jump start your municipality’s climate action journey

We can see increasing and more severe climate events occurring in our communities. We know it’s important to act, but it can be difficult to know how to get started.

That’s why the Municipalities for Climate Innovation Program created our new Climate in Focus video series.

These five videos explore the necessary components of climate action in municipalities. You’ll hear directly from mayors, councillors and climate experts about the steps you can take to help your municipality become more climate resilient. On each of the web pages that house the videos, you’ll find essential tools, resources and case studies. Start your climate action journey today.
