    Seconded byMayor Patrick Brown

    WHEREAS, we are seeing the impact of climate change daily on Canadian cities and towns; 

    WHEREAS, Canadian cities want to do their share of addressing the climate emergency

    WHEREAS, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) most recent report indicates that global warming and the melting of the arctic ice caps are happening at a faster rate than previously anticipated; and

    WHEREAS, the IPCC report also calls upon global nations to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in order to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, a goal set forth in the Paris Agreement; and

    WHEREAS, science-based targets indicate that cities globally need to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 and halve global emissions by 2030; and

    WHEREAS, The Race to Zero is a global campaign - led by the UN High-Level Climate Champions for Climate Action, Nigel Topping and Gonzalo Muñoz - to rally leadership and support from businesses, cities, regions, and investors for a healthy, resilient, zero carbon recovery that prevents future threats, creates decent jobs, and unlocks inclusive, sustainable growth ahead of COP26 in November  2021.

    WHEREAS, Cities Race to Zero is a campaign for cities by cities to inspire commitments and action from their peers around the world and channel the best available tools and expertise to help them stay on track with the 1.5°C goal of the Paris Agreement. The objective of Cities Race to Zero is to recruit 1,000 cities to the Race to Zero by COP26. 

    WHEREAS, cities are facing tremendous financial losses in the billions of dollars due to the increased intensity of storms, flooding, drought, wildfires and coastal flooding, linked to rising global temperatures.

    WHEREAS, billions of dollars of commercial real estate and business property are at risk due to current and projected rising sea levels and the intensity of storms, droughts, floods and wildfires.

    WHEREAS, the objective of Cities Race to Zero is to build momentum around the shift to a decarbonized economy ahead of COP26, where governments must strengthen their contributions to the Paris Agreement. Showing strong city leadership in reaching net zero emissions by 2050 will send governments a resounding signal that cities are united in meeting the goals of the Paris Agreement and creating a more inclusive and resilient economy.

    WHEREAS, the City of Brampton committed staff resources and capital funding towards the immediate development and implementation of the Community Energy and Emissions Reduction Plan’s six priority projects, which include:

    • Ensuring the City of Brampton policies and programs align with supporting the CEERP Objectives and Targets;
    • Establishing a system to deliver standardized retrofits to Brampton homeowners;

    • Establishing a community organization to lead the development and implementation of select priority projects.
