Working Group 1

Objectives and deliverables

Objectives:

  • Determine the current state of GHG emission reduction targets, measurement, monitoring and planning in Canadian municipalities

N-ZAP survey

N-ZAP conducted a Canada-wide survey in the summer of 2023 with the goal to capture the current state of municipal climate action across Canada.

By completing this survey, municipalities were able to:‍

  • Gain access to cutting-edge resources on climate accounting, measurement and collaborative governance produced by the N-ZAP team
  • Have the opportunity to join N-ZAP as a pilot city
  • Showcase the work and efforts of your community’s climate action in a publicly accessible database
  • Have the opportunity to contribute to the climate conversation at a national level
