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.
