"Let's Talk About the Weather..." 

Hamilton Community Climate Change Conversations TakingPlace


 

The City of Hamilton is working with the community to develop a Community Climate Change Action Plan to help the Hamilton community address climate change and become more resilient to the impacts of climate change that can be expected to occur in and around Hamilton over the coming decades. The plan will focus on adapting and preparing the community for the risks of climate change, such as more variable and extreme weather, more social and infrastructure stresses, risks to infrastructure, and insurance costs. It will also address reducing the community's contributions to climate change, such as the emission of greenhouse gases, a major contributor to climate change.

 

The Hamilton Climate Change Conversation was launched on July 22, 2014 with 100 people attend a kick-off event where we discussed climate change in Hamilton and actions we can take to reduce our contributions to climate change and prepare for the risks associated with changes in weather.
