The process of writing the MCCAP, carried out by the Climate Change Adaptation Committee, was an education on the impacts of climate change on West Hants, and sparked vital discussions about policy and procedures that could help protect people, properties, special places, and essential municipal services. These are all susceptible in some way to changing climate conditions. The MCCAP also summarizes West Hants' greenhouse gas emissions and presents strategies to limit those emissions. Actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions reduce energy costs and demonstrate leadership in addressing a substantial threat to our ecosystem.The MCCAP Committee will take up the baton passed from the Climate Change Adaptation Committee, and help guide West Hants as it moves forward in implementing the actions outlined in the MCCAP. As with all committees of Council, the public are welcome to attend, please call our Planning department at 798-6900 or email This email address is being protected from spambots.
