Help Shape Edmonton's Climate Action Plan for 2027-2030
Official title: Climate Action Plan Update (2027-2030)
Edmonton is updating its climate action plan and wants your input on draft ideas. The city faces rising temperatures, more flooding, and extreme weather. Your feedback will help decide which actions get funded and prioritized through 2030.
Why This Matters
Live in Edmonton? Climate change is already hitting your wallet. The city estimates direct costs could reach $1 billion annually by the 2040s. That means higher insurance, more infrastructure repairs, and disrupted services. This plan decides how the city spends your tax dollars to prepare.
What Could Change
The final action plan goes to City Council in mid-2026. Some actions may require new funding beyond what's already budgeted. Council will decide whether to approve additional spending, which could affect your property taxes.
