A Strong Towns Approach to Reducing Emissions
Building more housing is an important mission for governments at all levels—but housing must be built in a way that benefits communities, rather than causing more traffic, sprawl and increasing reliance on fossil fuels. In our next Building to Net-Zero Community of Practice, learn how a “Strong Towns” approach can be used to build communities that are low-emissions, strengthen social cohesion, and revitalize local economies. Join us on Thursday, April 30, 2026, from 2:00 to 3:00 pm ET.
Webinar: How climate budgeting is creating cleaner Canadian communities
Thursday, April 30 | 2:00 to 3:00 pm ET | Online
Since publishing its climate budgeting guide last year, the Municipal Net-Zero Action Research Partnership (N-ZAP) has used its valuable research and insights to better help Canadian municipalities integrate climate commitments into their financial decision-making. What are we learning from this process? Join us next to gain practical insights into the growing landscape of climate budgeting in Canada and how your local government can put N-ZAP’s climate budgeting guide into practice.
Next ICLEI Peer Network Meeting: Indigenous-municipal partnerships and local climate action
Wednesday, June 24, 2026 | 1:00 to 2:00 pm ET
Supporting Indigenous leadership and advancing reconciliation are essential to building resilient, net-zero communities. Join the next ICLEI Peer Network meeting to explore practical lessons, relationship-building approaches, and opportunities to deepen collaboration in ways that support Indigenous leadership and strengthen local climate outcomes.
