United Nations |  Climate Action Now.
The world's addiction to fossil fuels is 
one of the greatest threats to global 
stability and prosperity.

Are you concerned about climate change? Feel as though 
there is little we can do about it? 
If so, you will be glad to hear that there is a lot, 
that you can do as an individual and a member of 
your municipality.

50by30Niagara aims to see the Niagara Region and 
its twelve municipalities reduce emissions 50% by 
2030, on our way to eliminating emissions by 2050. 

Municipal emissions come primarily from 
buildings, transportation, municipal waste, agriculture, 
and industry (With approximately 80% coming just from 
buildings and transportation).

Municipalities and individuals can 
eliminate emissions from buildings by:
* Connecting homeowners with energy retrofits.
* Connecting buildings to fossil fuel free energy sources.   


Emissions can be eliminated 
from vehicles by:
* Designing walkable communities.  
* Increasing opportunities for public transit.  
* Switching to hybrid and electric vehicles.
