Calgary's Climate Program
Climate Emergency Declaration
On November 15, 2021 Calgary City Council voted to declare a Climate Emergency. A declaration of Climate Emergency is a resolution passed by a governing body such as a city council. It puts the local government on record in support of emergency action to respond to climate change, and recognizes the pace and scale of action needed.
More than 2,000 jurisdictions and local governments around the world representing more than one billion citizens have made Climate Emergency Declarations, including most major cities in Canada and the Government of Canada.
Calgarians were invited to provide their perspectives on climate change impacts and actions. Learn more and access background information and reports at Calgary.ca/ClimateUpdate.
