Climate Change Adaptation Plan
The Municipality of Clare – through the direction of Service Nova Scotia and Municipal Relations (SNSMR) - has identified a need to respond to climate change. Since 2005, The Municipality of Clare has been working on a “Municipal Energy Concept” aimed to develop and promote the innovative use of renewable green energy solutions.
In furtherance of accepting the challenge and commitment to reduce to the potential impacts of climate change, the Municipality of Clare has prepared this Climate Change Action Plan to identify priority adaptation impacts and actions for the Municipality. Through adaptation planning, Clare is now able to prepare for an uncertain climatic future.
