City committee takes action on Toronto's future climate!
On Monday January 28, 2013, Toronto's Parks & Environment Committee discussed Toronto's Future Climate, a report outlining the severe weather we can expect in 2040 due to global warming. (See the staff presentation or our November Councilwatch).
TEA's Franz Hartmann urged the committee to take action to protect our health, environment and public infrastructure. Fortunately, the Committee took the report seriously and requested an update on Toronto's Climate Change Strategy, as well as an Adaptation Toolkit to ensure City decisions plan for future severe weather!
TEA will continue to monitor Council's commitment to climate change action. Read the Committee's decision here and the media coverage here, including an interview with Franz Hartmann on CP24.
