The County of Brant is excited to announce the approval of the Climate Action Plan at the November 26, 2024, Council meeting. This comprehensive plan serves as a roadmap to guide the County toward a greener, healthier, and more sustainable future. It outlines actions designed to advance climate change mitigation and adaptation at both the corporate and community level.

"The County of Brant is taking bold action to address climate change with the approval of our Climate Action Plan,” said County of Brant Mayor, David Bailey. “This decision reflects our commitment to environmental stewardship and to leaving a lasting legacy of sustainability for future generations.

Everyone - community members, businesses, organizations, and all levels of government - has an important role to play in mitigating the effects of climate change and adapting to its impacts. As the County continues to advance this work, staff will prioritize ongoing engagement to ensure actions remain focused on the needs of our community.
