A national symposium for communities turning climate plans into action.
Connecting leaders and practitioners from across Canada to explore proven approaches, overcome implementation barriers, and advance local climate solutions.
About the event
Communities across Canada are facing growing climate pressures alongside rising costs, housing challenges, aging infrastructure, and increasing demands on local governments and organizations.
At the same time, we know more than ever about the actions communities can take to address climate change. From home energy retrofits and green infrastructure to sustainable transportation and waste reduction, communities across Canada are testing and refining practical approaches.
The challenge is not simply identifying solutions. It’s finding the capacity, funding, expertise, and partnerships needed to move from planning to implementation.
Connecting the Dots on Climate Solutions is a national symposium focused on helping communities overcome these barriers and accelerate implementation.
Bringing together municipal leaders, practitioners, researchers, funders, community organizations, industry partners, and community members, the symposium creates space for meaningful conversations about what it takes to move climate solutions from ideas to action.
Participants will explore practical examples, share lessons learned, build new partnerships, and discover approaches that contribute to stronger and more resilient communities.
