Community Climate Transitions welcomes 30 communities to the network

Mar 7

February 22, 2023

In 2022, 19 trailblazing communities from six provinces took part in Tamarack’s first-ever Climate Transitions Cohort. During a 10-month learning journey, communities worked to develop and implement local climate transition plans through whole-community approaches that involved residents, nonprofits, municipalities, businesses, and other sectors. All communities were committed to centering equity and justice in their climate action. The impact of their work was significant.

Tamarack continues to work alongside many of these communities while also expanding the network. In 2023, we are welcoming 30 new communities through our second English-speaking Cohort and our first-ever French-speaking one.
