Have your say in shaping the City’s updated Climate Change Action Plan

Climate change continues to influence weather patterns, contributing to unnatural disasters like the extreme heat and flooding events of last summer. 2024 was also the hottest year on record. The City is updating its 10-year Climate Change Action Plan (CCAP), originally developed in 2019. The update will explore opportunities to strengthen the City’s approach to reducing fossil fuel pollution, by setting stronger, more ambitious targets more closely aligned with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s recommendations to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.

No city can stop climate change alone, but as the third highest contributor to fossil fuel pollution in the GTHA, Mississauga has a responsibility to do its part. Residents can get involved by participating in both online and in-person events this summer to tell the City what matters most to them when it comes to climate change.

Get involved to help shape the CCAP update

• Mississauga’s Climate Lab 2 is an online platform where residents can share their climate-related priorities and comment on the issues that matter most to them. This feedback will be used to help draft the updated CCAP. Residents are encouraged to provide feedback by August 31, 2025.
• Climate Lab pop-up events will provide an in-person opportunity for the community to share their feedback to help shape the CCAP update. These events will be hosted at Mississauga community centres and libraries throughout the summer. Event details will be posted on the Updating the Climate Change Action Plan webpage in the coming weeks.
• The Community Dialogue Series will offer residents a more collaborative, in-depth, way to help shape the CCAP update. Both in-person and virtual workshops will be held in July and August. The July sessions will focus on scenario building and storytelling to understand the impacts of the new targets. The August sessions will focus on sharing feedback and insights gathered from the community about the planned updates. Event details will be posted on the Updating the Climate Change Action Plan webpage in the coming weeks.
