Resolutions, Ordinances, or Other Climate Legislation

This assessment is based on one piece of legislation. The City of Nanaimo adopted a Climate Change Emergency Resolution in April 2019 that directs the city to take action on climate change through several key initiatives. The resolution requires updating the city’s sustainability plan with stronger targets, replacing an outdated emissions fund with a new climate-focused reserve, and expanding public transit by 20,000 annual hours to reduce car use. The city also requested that the province reinstate emissions tracking reports to monitor progress. Overall, the resolution focuses on three main areas: reducing transportation emissions through transit expansion, tracking emissions reductions, and updating local planning policies to address climate change.
