urban climate leadership: YEAR IN REVIEW
As extreme weather, affordability pressures, and fast-moving technologies reshape daily life, communities across Canada continue to respond with strong local leadership and innovation.
This 2025 Year in Review offers a snapshot of how Urban Climate Leadership operates as a trusted convenor, bringing together municipal leaders, policymakers, labour, industry, researchers, and community voices to translate complex climate and technology challenges into practical, locally grounded pathways for equitable climate action. While grounded in our 2025 work, the themes and approaches reflected here continue to shape our work today.
Our focus extends beyond climate targets alone. It centres on the health, safety, affordability, and long-term resilience of people and communities across Canada. This work is made possible through close collaboration with partners, facilitators, rapporteurs, and contractors who help turn dialogue into action.
