“Over 50% of Ontario’s carbon emissions originate in cities,” but the Ontario plan “could weaken cities’ potential to contribute to climate protection in three ways,” writes TAF CEO Langer. “First, the lowered 2030 carbon reduction target and lack of a long-term target could put pressure on cities to weaken their ambition, as well. Second, the availability of funding for urban climate solutions has been dramatically reduced. Third, there is little detail on the key strategies for reducing emissions.” #onpoli
