Commit to a Process

The Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) has developed a process for climate action planning and implementation.

Partners for Climate Protection is run by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, and outlines a series of milestones by which municipalities can plan to reduce emissions. Over 25% of BC local governments have already signed up to the PCP program. The five milestones of the program are to:

1. Create a greenhouse gas inventory and forecast
2. Set emissions reductions targets
3. Develop a local action plan
4. Implement the plan
5. Monitor progress

Further information about PCP, and about the tools municipalities can use to reduce emissions, can be found at:
