Climate change poses numerous, complex health and safety concerns for our community. Over the coming decades, Windsor will see an increase in extreme weather events, temperatures and precipitation including freezing rain. Losses from catastrophic weather events as well as heat health issues and an increase in vector borne diseases pose health implications that are the responsibility of the City as well as the community.

Protecting our vulnerable communities against the impacts of climate change is a major theme in this objective. These populations include people with low income, children, seniors, those who are socially isolated, people experiencing homelessness and those with special existing health conditions.
