Intensifying storms, excessive smoke hours, frequent wildfire warnings, and an influx of displaced peoples from Jasper - this has become the reality of life in Calgary in 2024. The evidence is clear - climate change is here. The solution? Community action!
Chip in TODAY to support community climate action, right here in Calgary.
The Calgary Climate Hub is a group that’s taking decisive action on climate issues. We are an organized movement made up of a diverse group of citizens who are united in our conviction that we can build a better world while fighting climate change.
Since our formation in 2017, we have empowered, educated, and mobilized Calgarians to take local action, push for climate-focused municipal policies, and created notable impacts, such as:
- Council’s adoption of the Climate Strategy
- Increased funding for climate infrastructure - the 5A Cycling Network
- A temporary logging moratorium in Kananaskis
- Advancing Tree Equity - Created a Tree Equity Map, and planted Tiny Forests across Calgary's communities
- Addressing urban sprawl and housing affordability
- Awarded annual Youth Climate Bursaries to support student climate action
- Production of our monthly Climate Lens Podcast, to advance climate literacy and perspectives
- Eco Elders Action - Seniors climate rallies and awareness campaigns
After years of successful climate action, advocacy, and community-building, the Calgary Climate Hub needs your help! As a grassroots nonprofit, we rely on community contributions for our continued success. Our movement has become larger than ever, but we can’t keep up this momentum without your financial support.
