The Role of Municipalities in the Ecological Transition

With urban areas set to become home to two-thirds of the world population by 2050 and as climate change is being observed and experienced at an increasingly local level, cities find themselves at the frontline of the battle against climate change. Bringing together innovators from every sector provides an indispensable setting for idea-sharing, and problem-solving.

Municipal governments have a firsthand understanding of community needs and are capable of greater agility to take swift concrete measures, with effects that ripple well beyond local spheres.

With the Mobilizing Municipalities movement, Earth Day Canada celebrates and supports the towns and cities that take a leading role in the fight for a more sustainable world. The 2024 Mobilizing Municipalities and some of their initiatives are highlighted on the map below. May their actions inspire more!
