Local governments are stepping up to protect tenants from extreme heat with Right to Cool measures: removing barriers to active cooling technologies and establishing maximum indoor heat temperature standards.
This toolkit provides the up-to-date information on these regulatory and policy measures aimed at improving tenant safety during extreme heat.
End of Session Federal Policy Briefing Note… and NEW Podcast!
With the House of Commons adjourned, we’re sharing with you our second Federal Policy Briefingon behalf of Climate Caucus, designed to share what we know about the government’s thinking on issues you care about—including infrastructure, adaptation, energy policy, electrification and funding—and to share with you what we’ve been up to on your behalf.
Canada is only as strong as its local communities — and local communities from coast-to-coast-to-coast are calling for more ambitious climate policy. We’ve submitted Climate Caucus’ pre-budget recommendations to the Government of Canada for Budget 2026.
We lost a crucial person in our Climate Caucus community unexpectedly in November. Judy was instrumental in the founding of our organization, volunteering 6 years and thousands of hours of specialized work to Climate Caucus.
We’ve gathered stories, and words of tribute, for a permanent tribute webpage.
We’re launching a national network for women and gender-diverse local electeds to connect, share information, collaborate, and be supported by a community of leaders.
We welcome local elected leaders—current and former—from municipalities, Indigenous Nations and rural communities from coast to coast to coast. Membership is free and provides access to in-person and virtual resources.
To support local elected navigate the growing challenge of mis/disinformation, Climate Caucus has launched a mis/disinformation working group, designed to share practical strategies and resources, build confidence and capacity for engaging in difficult public conversations, create a collaborative space to exchange experiences and workshop solutions with peers.
The First Nations Leadership and Governance Association (FNLGA) and Climate Caucus have partnered to strengthen First Nations representation in Municipal Governance.
We’re a modest organisation with large reach and larger ambitions. All our work is designed to support local communities enact change that improves the lives of Canadians across the country. Your donation helps us continue to ensure tangible change — locally and at scale.
“The Climate Caucus is an essential source of inspiration, information and insight. Being part of a national network of municipal leaders has helped me gain an understanding of the range of possibilities we have at our disposal to build a just, regenerative future.”
