Essex Climate Adaptation Team

The Town of Essex is taking the next steps towards the development of a comprehensive Climate Change Adaptation Plan (CCAP), which will help the municipality plan and adapt to the impacts of climate change.

The Essex Climate Adaptation Team (ECAT), made up of interested citizens and stakeholders, assists Town staff in developing the CCAP by identifying measures to improve adaptation, reduce vulnerability, enhance community resilience and protect resources while identifying potential cost-savings and economic opportunities.

Members of the team meet regularly throughout 2020 at local community facilities throughout the Town of Essex.

Have your say!

To help inform the work of the Essex Climate Adaptation Team, the Town is currently seeking feedback from citizens about their experiences with the impacts of climate change and how the community should adapt to them.

Submit your feedback online with the ECAT Feedback Form.
