The 2023-2026 Climate Action Plan is the foundation that guides Halton’s work to accelerate its climate response. This Plan will act as a framework for climate action for the Region’s corporate activities and is flexible to ensure it is responsive to technical advancements and a shifting regulatory environment. It allows the Region to adapt to the changing climate, establish a pathway for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction efforts, and will further support Regional partners and partnerships.

Themes
This Plan includes four themes to support the Region’s climate change actions.
Each theme includes Halton Region’s commitment to advance climate action. The breadth of the work required on climate change extends beyond the outlines of this plan. Currently, these themes and actions are identified as the most critical and necessary measures for success.
1. Climate Ready
Climate Ready allows the Region to mitigate and adapt to the impacts of climate change, safeguarding corporate assets and service deliverables.
2. Climate Lens
A climate lens provides a pathway to integrate climate change considerations, impacts, risks, and vulnerabilities into all decisions, reports, policies, and initiatives.
3. Climate Finance
Halton Region has a long standing commitment to financial stability. A focus on climate finance supports the means to ensure credible forecasting and incremental preparation and sets the Region up to benefit from partnerships, external funding sources and investments.
4. Engagement and Advocacy
Engagement and Advocacy builds Regional capacity to increase climate literacy, broker partnerships, reinforce mutually beneficial activities, and strengthen corporate climate action.
