Purpose
Currently, many other municipalities and Regions include a climate considerations component in their Council reports, including Burlington, Halton Hills and Oakville. It is recommended Halton aligns with current practice and ensures that climate impacts, risks, and vulnerabilities are considered as part of the decision-making process.
A review of the Region’s climate related policies and benchmarking was initiated in 2024 and will continue into 2025 to determine needs and next steps.
