Read the plan here: Local Climate Change Action Plan 2030


The Local Climate Change Action Plan 2030 (LCCAP2030) is the Municipality of the District of Lunenburg’s response to the global climate emergency. Our climate is changing and the global temperature is rising rapidly owing to the increasing concentration of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere. Moreover, Canada is warming twice as fast as rest of the world and the Canadian Arctic is warming at about three times faster than the global rate.[1] The detrimental impacts of climate change are widespread, intensifying, and require us to take an urgent action as a community.

The Municipality declared a climate emergency in 2019 and developed the LCCAP2030 as part of its commitment to act on climate change. The plan is a 10-year strategic action plan that provides the guiding framework for the Municipality to achieve net-zero GHG emissions by 2050 and support a climate-resilient, healthier, and sustainable future.

The LCCAP2030 is divided into the following two chapters:

Chapter 1 – Community Climate Action Plan: A plan that focuses on reducing GHG emissions within the boundaries of MODL (e.g., homes, offices, community vehicles), as well as building a climate-resilient community. The 10 main categories and 27 climate actions identified in this chapter will set forth a pathway for the Municipality to reduce its community GHG emissions and align itself with international efforts to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C and build a climate-resilient and sustainable community.

Chapter 2 – Corporate Climate Action Plan: A plan that focuses on reducing GHG emissions that are directly controlled by MODL (e.g., municipal operations and fleets). The 4 main categories and 10 climate actions identified in this chapter will set forth a pathway for the Municipality to reduce its corporate GHG emissions to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.

  • CLOSED: This survey has concluded.

    The Municipality of the District of Lunenburg (MODL) is developing a Local Climate Change Action Plan (2021-2030), to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and prepare MODL for the impacts of a changing climate. The Plan is being built around a central vision that MODL will be a low carbon community, with the long-term goal of becoming a sustainable, climate-resilient, and net-zero community. The Plan will identify and prioritize several key action items that will be delivered over the next 10 years. This will be a community plan and we want to hear from residents, farmers, local businesses, community groups and youth on how we can address climate change, and ensure MODL continues to be a great place to live.

    Your feedback will help shape our Local Climate Change Action Plan. Please take the next 5-8 minutes to complete this survey.

    The deadline to complete this survey is February 28, 2022.

  • CLOSED: This survey has concluded.

    In 2019 GHG emissions from community sources within MODL totaled 314,346.41 tonnes of CO₂e. MODL is taking action on this and creating a plan to reduce emissions within the community. Have your say and vote for the emissions reduction theme you support MODL working towards in order to fight climate change.

    MODL is currently completing Milestone 1 of the PCP program by developing a corporate and community greenhouse gas emissions inventory, as well as working on the early stages of our GHG reduction plan. By completing this survey you are helping MODL get a complete picture of GHG emissions within the Municipality as well as helping us find key areas to focus on for greenhouse gas reduction.
