Mobilizing Climate Action in Richmond Hill
We are a community-based organization dedicated to mobilizing and facilitating climate actions on the local level through evidence-based campaigns, expert-led interactive learning, and multi-stakeholder collaboration.
How we mobilize climate action
Expert-Led Interactive Learning
We organize seminars, panels, exhibitions and interactive programs to connect community members with experts across sectors in order to turn complex topics into practical takeaways
Multi-Stakeholder Collaboration
We accelerate climate action and bring about real impacts through collaboration with stakeholders from diverse backgrounds including citizens, scientists, government agencies, elected officials, NGOs, and business leaders
Evidence-Based Communications Campaigns
We create evidence-based communications campaigns that are local, actionable and accessible to everyone.
Richmond Hill’s Climate Plan & Our Work
Approved in 2021, Richmond Hill’s Community Energy and Emission Plan (CEEP) guides the city’s vision to become a low carbon city and resilient community with a diversified and strong economy. Climate Action Richmond Hill aims to inform the community of the plan and act accordingly. The climate plan outlines 7 action areas - transportation, building, renewable energy, waste, compact community, municipal leadership and natural heritage - to achieve net-zero by 2050. To succeed, we believe that all stakeholders including the government, residents, businesses and environmental partners must work together.
Monthly Climate Updates
Our monthly climate updates are core to our evidence-based communications campaign. We create climate news that are local and actionable. They inform the community how they can take part in advancing the City’s climate plan. They are shared with residents, environmental partners and local elected officials including the Mayor, Deputy Mayor, and all Councilors for dissemination to their constituents.
