Emissions from human activities are causing extreme weather, flooding, forest fires and more.<\/p>\n
Solutions are needed, and communities everywhere have a big role to play.\u00a0In fact, the NB Climate Change Action Plan aims that all New Brunswick local governments begin reporting their emissions by 2025, and have a GHG Reduction Plan \/ Community Energy and Emission Plan (CEEP) in place by 2030.<\/span><\/p>\n But where to begin?<\/p>\n Right here! If you\u2019re an NB municipal leader or official, you\u2019ll find everything you need to create a CEEP for your community: from developing a vision to setting targets to implementation and reporting. Plus you\u2019ll find links to resources to support and guide you; case examples and best practices; and funding programs.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_cta][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ module_id=”what” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#00A9A6″ custom_padding=”63px||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.23″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.23″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_cta title=”What’s a CEEP?” button_url=”https:\/\/questcanada.org\/aire-protocol\/” _builder_version=”4.23″ _module_preset=”default” header_font=”|700|||||||” header_text_align=”left” header_text_color=”#FFFFFF” header_font_size=”44px” body_font_size=”17px” body_line_height=”2em” background_color=”RGBA(0,0,0,0)” custom_button=”on” button_alignment=”center” text_orientation=”left” background_layout=”light” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px|0px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_cta][et_pb_cta button_url=”https:\/\/questcanada.org\/aire-protocol\/” admin_label=”About the project blurb” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” header_font=”|700|||||||” header_text_align=”left” header_text_color=”#00A9A6″ header_font_size=”44px” body_text_color=”#FFFFFF” body_font_size=”17px” body_line_height=”1.1em” background_color=”RGBA(0,0,0,0)” custom_button=”on” button_alignment=”center” text_orientation=”left” background_layout=”light” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px|3px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n A Community Energy and Emission Plan (sometimes called a Climate Action Plan, Climate and Energy Action Plan or a Greenhouse Gas Reduction Plan) is a document that outlines in detail how a community intends to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions in accordance with provincial, national and international targets.
