Lanark County is developing a Climate Action Plan (CAP) to reduce corporate and community greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This plan will engage with the community and a variety of stakeholders to help prepare everyone for a changing climate. This plan represents the first step in creating an integrated approach to mitigating the impacts of climate change throughout the County of Lanark. The final objective of the CAP is to reduce GHG emissions by targeting emissions on multiple levels both within the corporation and the community.
