The District of Squamish has launched a new web resource to educate local residents on the science and impacts of climate change.
The resource includes actionable steps, downloads, resources and climate-related information to help residents better understand the effects of climate change, the district says.
Individual carbon footprints, the calculation of Greenhouse Gas emissions and how residents can make the shift towards creating a brighter future for Squamish are some other resources available online.
The interactive online presence includes FAQs, global warming, climate adaptation and climate mitigation as well as links to videos, books, podcasts and resources to further expand climate change knowledge.
It also includes a comprehensive guide to the district’s Community Climate Action Plan and how the district is doing local climate adaptation.
“The climate emergency is at the forefront of our policies, decision-making and operations and it is imperative that we work together as a community to realize the impacts of our actions,” says Mayor Karen Elliott.
In 2019, the District of Squamish declared a Climate Emergency and set out to create a framework for how Squamish can reduce its greenhouse emissions.
