Purpose
Provide Halton Region with a standardized and transparent framework to assess and communicate the impacts of climate related risks and opportunities. It proactively sets the Region up for potential regulatory disclosure requirements as well as access to significant funding opportunities that require Task Force on Climate Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).
An Offset Credits Subcommittee was established as part of the Climate Action Response Team (CART) to develop a Climate Offset Credit Framework that would provide high level guidance on navigating the Region’s use of Offset credits. The Framework is pending approval.
