The Climate Action Challenge
Climate change is a global, national, regional, and local challenge. The local impacts of climate change have so far been relatively modest. However, significant large-scale impacts are expected in the form of increased precipitation, higher temperatures, rising sea levels, increased extreme weather events, and more weather variability.
Local governments need to be prepared for and adapt to these changes, and work to mitigate and eliminate local and regional emissions that contribute to climate change.
On Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009 from 2pm – 7pm, Saanich will be launching our SolarBC Solar Community program with a SOLAR COMMUNITY OPEN HOUSE. Learn about the technology and the incentives and how to get solar hot water started in your home.
Also, check out our Solar Hot Water links to get you connected with this excellent alternative energy solution. Learn about how they work, the energy they save you and the numerous incentives and rebates that are available. |
Where Do We Start?
It’s simple really, our carbon emissions stem from 3 things, our homes, our transportation and our waste. The issue is energy; how we use it and how smart choices can manage it. Saanich is providing the tools to residents, businesses and the rest of the community through the Saanich Climate Action Plan.
The municipality is in the process of putting together a climate action road map for the community to tackle these issues. The plan itself will be powered by input from residents and business.
