"Through the Climate and Environment Lens, we will reduce the carbon impact of all our services and activities, and take action to protect, adapt and restore the environment that sustains us, especially watersheds and aquifers. We will also build our capacity to respond to and recover from emergencies." (2023-2027 SCRD Strategic Plan).
Recent heatwaves, droughts, wildfires, and atmospheric rivers have shown the need for local action on the Sunshine Coast. We also know the window to drastically reduce carbon pollution and avoid unstoppable global warming is rapidly closing. The SCRD has engaged the community in developing a Community Climate Action Plan (CCAP). A CCAP lays out a strategy and provides policy recommendations to address climate change.

Lifecycle
Phase 1: Setting the context
Community Climate Action Plan has finished this stage
Focused on information sharing, this phase will present an overview of how our community is being impacted and where our emissions of greenhouse gases are coming from. We're looking to ensure the foundational information is correct and comprehensive in your eyes.
Phase 2: Framing Focus Areas
Community Climate Action Plan has finished this stage
This phase will focus on setting a vision and goals as well as framing priority areas. Looking at GHG emission reduction targets for the community and framing focus areas for climate adaptation objectives are all part of this phase.
Phase 3: Action Planning
Community Climate Action Plan has finished this stage
During this phase, the SCRD will be in a position to present a high level overview of climate focus areas and draft lists of actions. These will be prioritized by working groups and community public participation to ensure they reflect the community’s desired direction. Phase 3’s outcome will be a proposed community climate action plan.
