Plan Development
Community Scope and Intention of Plan
This Plan represents an update to the City of Windsor’s 2012 Climate Change Adaptation Plan. Updating the adaptation plan allows the City to identify and build on work already completed, check in on existing stressors, risks, and implementation progress, and advance the community further toward climate resilience of its social, economic, built and natural systems.
This update to the 2012 Climate Change Adaptation Plan took a broad approach that involved the Windsor community as well as municipal administration. The intent of this plan is to help organizations, institutions, businesses, vulnerable populations, and individuals of all ages adapt to current and future climate-related risks and opportunities. Although City administration has a primary role for most actions outlined in the Plan, working with various stakeholders in the community is necessary to further educate and implement climate change adaptation measures in the broader community.
To ensure that the voices and values of our community were incorporated into Degrees of Change, a Community Task Force was created. The Task Force included representation from many community groups and organizations.
