PRAIRIES
HUBS

As home to Canada’s oil and gas industry, the Prairies endure severe climate consequences, experiencing intensifying drought, extreme heat, and agricultural disruption. At the same time, the region also has a ripe and growing renewable energy sector that increases public awareness of climate impacts, creating opportunities for bold municipal climate policy, even in ostensibly politically challenging environments.

Through grassroots advocacy tackling issues intersecting climate and justice, Community Climate Hubs in the Prairies are making gains on policies around clean energy, public transportation, and maximum heat by-laws.
