City of Victoria Climate Leadership Plan

ICLEI Canada supported the development of and consultation around the City of Victoria’s Climate Leadership Plan. We developed a Workshop-in-a-Box module that empowered local groups to host workshops around the CLP priority areas. The Workshop-in-a-Box tool has led to broader consultation than that which could be hosted by City staff and enabled community based organizations to gather feedback on relevant CLP priorities. In addition, ICLEI staff worked with the City to host consultations around key priority areas in the CLP including: Low-Carbon High Performance Buildings, Low-Carbon Transportation and Mobility, Low Carbon Waste Management Systems, and Climate Change Adaptation. Finally ICLEI worked with relevant City departments on the Adaptation sections of the CLP; this included identifying relevant case studies, research on local climate impacts, and formulation of goals and objectives related to this priority area.
