Mitigation? Adaptation? Lifecycle costs? Low-impact development? What does it all mean?! In this episode, Emma Power of Fundamental Inc. explains some climate action planning basics and takes us through a few examples of climate solutions that she's been assisting Newfoundland and Labrador municipalities with, including community composting and nature-based stormwater management. She tells us why she believes municipal governments can move beyond talking about climate change, and actually walk the walk.

This project was made possible through a grant from the T2050 initiative, in partnership with the Newfoundland and Labrador Environmental Industry Association (now econext). The Transition 2050 initiative is offered through the Municipalities for Climate Innovation Program, which is delivered by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities and funded by the Government of Canada. This initiative contributes to the FCM-ICLEI Partners for Climate Protection program to help municipalities reduce greenhouse gas emissions and take action on climate change. PCP is a partnership between FCM and ICLEI Local Governments for Sustainability.
