Related Information
In response to this challenge, the City's Green Task Force recommended that Belleville City Council adopt a resolution to declare a climate emergency to drive action forward on climate change. Declarations are seen as particularly effective at the local level given that Canadian municipalities are the owners and operators of 60% of public infrastructure and are on the frontlines of both the impacts of climate change and the solutions to it. The resolution was adopted unanimously by Council in June 2021. A staff report was drafted in support of the declaration and contains the resolution in its entirety.
