Requiring apartments to collect compost and identifying climate risks faced by vulnerable people are among proposed actions in the City of Yellowknife’s plan to address climate change.
The city released its draft climate action plan for 2026 to 2036 last week.
The draft includes 25 climate change mitigation and adaptation actions under six themes: sustainable transportation, waste management, resilient and efficient buildings and infrastructure, responsible land use planning, governance and accountability, and community preparedness and emergency response.
Grace Schaan, the city’s environment and climate coordinator, updated Yellowknife councillors about the draft plan on Tuesday afternoon.
