2025 Livable Cities Forum: Acting on Climate Together

October 6 to 8, 2025 | Halifax, NS

Creative, equitable, and ambitious partnerships have the potential to significantly accelerate climate action in our communities, while bringing diverse voices to the table. Across the country, efforts like regional coastal resilience initiatives, resilient and sustainable housing solutions, and transformative infrastructure projects showcase the power of taking action together. Hosted by ICLEI Canada and the Halifax Regional Municipality, LCF 2025 convened local leaders committed to breaking down barriers to action and to doing so together. Thank you to everyone who joined us at the Halifax Convention Centre in Halifax, Nova Scotia, located in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and traditional lands of the Mi’kmaq people, from October 6 to 8, 2025 to advance action as we build net-zero, resilient, and equitable communities.
