Overcoming Challenges in Local Climate Action: Part 3: Institutional and Political Barriers to Climate Action Implementation

Four-Part Webinar Series

When it's time to start implementing local climate plans, a set of challnges often arise that are political and institutional in nature. Municipal governments often come up against established procedures and resistance to change that can slow down the adoption of new climate policies and practices. At the same time, implementing climate plans effectively often requires deep levels of coordination and collaboration across municipal departments and agencies and with other local actors in the community, yet this type of coordinate can be challenging to achieve. Within municipalities, it can also be complex and time-consuming to achieve policy integration, incorporating climate objectives into existing plans and policies. Finally, communities do not exist in isolation; rather, they must operate within the broader landscape of provincial/territorial and federal governments whose support for climate action can vary greatly. Future proofing climate action is thus essential in guarding against shifting politics. 

This webinar will dive into some of these barriers and explore how they can be overcome.
