HalifACT: Acting on Climate Together

Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Linkedin Email this link

HalifACT is one of the most ambitious climate action movements in Canada.

It's our community response to the climate crisis that will build a more resilient and healthy future in Atlantic Canada while preparing for current and future climate impacts. On June 23, 2020, Halifax Regional Council unanimously adopted HalifACT – a transformational plan to achieve a net-zero economy by 2050.

HalifACT lays out how we’ll reduce emissions, switch to clean and reliable energy sources, grow our green economy, and show leadership from local government.

Halifax Public Libraries and HalifACT are partnering to learn from you. We are committed to making deep change, but success relies on all of us being supported to engage and take action.

We need to learn about how you are experiencing impacts of climate change already and what you need to take action and thrive in a changing climate.

We will share what we hear from you and use your feedback to create climate resources, programs and supports for effective climate action.

Visit your local library branch to share your thoughts. If you're unable to make it, please share your thoughts using our online tools.

Engagement #3 - Preparing for Climate Change

Climate change means extreme weather happens more often. Heatwaves, wildfires, flooding, hurricanes and blizzards can cause power outages and damage buildings, roads, communications equipment, and water / wastewater systems. Supply chains may be interrupted, making it difficult to get every day products and materials. People could experience physical and mental health issues creating more need for emergency services. We can work together to strengthen our communities, ecosystems and economy.


WHAT DO YOU NEED TO FEEL PREPARED
FOR THE IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE?

For yourself, your family, and community
