The trusted independent advisor to local governments on climate and energy
The Community Energy Association (CEA) and the BC Municipal Climate Leadership Council (BCMCLC) will host a webinar for locally elected officials on November 24. Hear about climate action resources and upcoming events from CEA and our friends at Climate Caucus.
This online meeting is for new and returning mayors, councillors, and electoral area directors looking to integrate climate action in their communities over the next term. Presentations and discussions will touch on the ways that climate action connects with key issues like affordability, economic development, equity, resilience, infrastructure renewal, and air quality. The event will include short presentations and time for breakout discussions with your peers.
Time: 12:00 to 1:30 pm Pacific Time
