Community Climate Action Plan

"In the face of a global climate emergency we must move swiftly to reduce GHG emissions and enhance our region’s resiliency to the effects of a changing climate" (2019-2023 SCRD Strategic Plan).

Welcome to the discussion on what we can and should do about the climate emergency on the Sunshine Coast.

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 greenhouse gas emissions and avoid unstoppable climate change is rapidly closing. The SCRD is engaging the community in developing a Community Climate Action Plan (CCAP). A CCAP lays out a strategy and provides policy recommendations to address climate change.

A draft plan has been shared with the SCRD Board and is being discussed in relation to the SCRD Strategic Plan.

The SCRD is also leading by example with its Corporate Carbon Neutrality Plan, and annual Local Government Climate Action Program reporting.
