Prince Edward County council declared a climate emergency after severe flooding in 2017 and 2019. The municipality took the further step of joining the Partners for Climate Protection program.
PCP is a national network of more than 500 municipalities. Member communities have a shared goal of taking action against climate change and reducing local greenhouse gas emissions.
As a member of the PCP program, and having met some critical milestones, Prince Edward County is continuing to develop a local action plan.
