Climate Action

Climate change is one of our most pressing issues. Its impacts are being felt globally due to forest fires, flooding, drought, disease, famine, and extreme weather. These have created environmental, social, economic, and public health challenges.

Locally, vulnerable populations such as seniors and those experiencing homelessness are at greater risk. Extreme temperatures and food insecurity are becoming more prevalent as prices increase due to crop damage and the need for irrigation. New threats like Lyme disease are also becoming more common. Many people are looking for ways to reduce their impact to ensure a better future for generations to come.

Otonabee Conservation recognizes the importance of responding to climate change. Our Climate Change Strategy is a step towards reducing our carbon footprint and identifying tangible actions that will translate to positive results to mitigate our impact.

Our Climate Change Strategy identifies:

• The actions we will undertake
• How we will track our results
• The ways we will support the community to address climate change through adaptation and mitigation

These first steps demonstrate our commitment to take climate-related action related and contribute to a resilient watershed community.
