As a planning partner, BurlingtonGreen is pleased to announce "Take Action Burlington" as this City's first Community Climate Change summit!
The day-long summit being held at the Royal Botanical Gardens on Thursday, May 6, 2010, aims to bring together local residents, businesses and community leaders to discuss climate change at the local level.
Jeffrey Simpson, regular columnist with the Globe & Mail, will open the summit as the keynote speaker. Simpson is co-author of Hot Air, Canada's Climate Change Challenge and will speak to why we in Burlington should be concerned about Climate Change.
Expert panel sessions will focus on various topics, such as healthy communities and sustainable transportation, green buildings and renewable energy, and energy conservation. Each session will highlight why these areas are important and showcase local sustainable actions that are already taking place in Burlington. Summit participants will work together in roundtable sessions to identify how we as individuals and a community can build on existing actions to respond to the changing climate and take action to make a difference.
