Climate change is a global emergency that affects us all. None of us are immune to its effects, and we all have a responsibility to contribute to its solutions. Even a community like the Northern Bruce Peninsula – small, rural, and removed from the areas we often associate with the most significant impacts of climate change – will be profoundly impacted in the coming decades. It is time to do our part and prepare.

This Climate Action Plan is our community’s response to the many challenges posed by climate change. It is the culmination of many months of work which began with the appointment of the Municipal Climate Action Committee in 2020. Through the generous support of the Bruce Peninsula Biosphere Association, funding from Environment and Climate Change Canada, as well as several other community organizations, the project team engaged all corners of our community – nearly one thousand voices in all – to develop an ambitious but practical plan that Northern Bruce Peninsula can be proud of.

UPDATE: On May 9th, 2025 the Municipality of Northern Bruce Peninsula formally accepted the climate action plan and adopted the associated greenhouse gas emission targets. Please click here for the press release and visit their website for more information: Climate Action on the Peninsula
