As our climate changes, it’s important to understand our challenges and what we can do about them. Our approach focuses on three key areas: climate risk, adaptation, and mitigation.

Climate Risk

Changes in the climate, such as more frequent heat waves, storms, and flooding, can have serious impacts on our community. This includes our roads, buildings, essential services, and natural environment. Understanding these risks helps us prepare and respond effectively.

Climate Adaptation

Adaptation is about preparing for the future. We’re planning ahead and taking action now to help protect our community, environment, and way of life from the effects of climate change. This includes building resilience into how we design infrastructure and deliver services.

Climate Mitigation

Mitigation means reducing our contribution to climate change. We’re cutting greenhouse gas emissions by using cleaner energy, supporting the transition to electric vehicles, and capturing gas from landfill. Every step helps reduce our environmental impact.
