MCCAC offering free resources and services to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions in municipalities
In July 2019, the MCCAC was appointed by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) to serve as the Regional Climate Advisor for Alberta. The MCCAC will support the FCM and the ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability (ICLEI Canada) Partners for Climate Protection (PCP) program by offering Alberta municipalities free resources and consulting services to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The PCP program is free and guides municipalities through a five-step milestone framework to help take action on climate change by reducing emissions. Moving through these milestones gives municipalities the opportunity to save money in municipal operations, lower energy costs for residents and businesses, and increase investment in the local economy. The five milestones are:
Milestone 1: Create a Baseline Emissions Inventory and Forecast
Milestone 2: Set Emissions Reduction Targets
Milestone 3: Develop a Local Action Plan
Milestone 4: Implement the Local Action Plan
Milestone 5: Monitor Progress and Report Results
To learn how your municipality can join the PCP program or any other questions about the PCP program, please email contact@mccac.ca.
