Resource Risk – The Environmental Sustainability and Climate Change office currently operates with 2 full-time staff and 1 temporary staff to implement the Environmental Master Plan, Community Energy Plan, Corporate Climate Action Plan and the Climate Change Adaptation Plan. The acceleration of climate action will be limited by the resources provided. Administration across the Corporation understands the role their departments play on adapting to climate change and this is shown by the number of adaptation actions currently underway. However, the City has yet to reach this level of engagement for Climate Change Mitigation. Implementing some of the actions for integration into municipal decision making will further support climate action.
