Resources
- Compilation of Climate Change Language in OPs as of April 2018 (NOTE: This is not at all comprehensive and is simply an attempt to understand where we are at present and not meant to provide guidance on where we should be setting the bar for minimum climate change integration into OPs. However, Burlington is one of the first municipalities that has most recently incorporated climate change into their Official Plan. We did think it would be of value to update this as municipalities are updating their OPs and bringing climate change into them so if you can let us know as that occurs in your jurisdictions we can help to advance this compilation.
