CLIMATE CHANGE FORUM:
Reducing Carbon Footprint in the GTA

On March 23rd, 2010, OCETA presented "Reducing Carbon Footprint in the GTA" - a highly successful Climate Change Forum for stakeholders in the Greater Toronto Area at the Ajax Convention Centre.

The purpose of the Forum was to achieve increased understanding and awareness on climate change issues and highlight the opportunities to implement best energy efficiency practices to reduce carbon footprint among GTA-based stakeholders.

83 stakeholders from across the Greater Toronto Area attended and rated the Forum very highly. Presentations are available on the Forum Web site.

Background:

The Durham Sustainability Stewardship Program (DSSP) is being delivered by OCETA in partnership with DSA and C2P2 from 2008-2011, with funding support from the Ontario Trillium Foundation. Among other outreach activities, the program includes delivery of eight Stakeholders Sustainability Forums, one in each municipality in Durham Region. The forums will aim to create awareness on Sustainable Production & Consumption/Pollution Prevention principles and how these principles and tools can be applied daily, both at work and home. The forums will also provide opportunities for stakeholders to build partnerships, share local environmental initiatives, best practices, and showcase achievements of local environmental stewards from all sectors in Durham and other GTA communities. Local community members will also gain knowledge on what local businesses are doing in efforts to optimize their manufacturing processes to reduce pollution.

This Durham Region Stakeholders Sustainability Forum has been made possible by the financial contribution of the
Ontario Trillium Foundation.
