Chatham-Kent is set on working on a plan to tackle climate change issues over the next couple of years.
Environmental planner Gabriel Clarke presented a detailed term of reference, timelines and milestones for a climate change action plan that is being developed, at last week’s council meeting.
“The terms of reference for the climate change action plan just basically outline what everybody can expect the project ot involve over the next 18 months,” Clarke says. “It talks about the steps we’re going to take, the various pieces of the project that we need to build on to get to a final product, which is a climate change action plan that increases the community’s resiliency climate change and reduces emissions where we can.”
Clarke will be coming back before council in early 2020 with some additional background information on climate change.
He’s confident in the timelines, calling it “achievable and aggressive.”
The plan is scheduled to be completed in June of 2021.
