Ontario’s Climate Change Action Plan

[[hacknight_134.jpg]]

Ontario's Climate Change Action Plan commits to ‘Boost public access to climate change tools’, but what exactly does that mean? Brianna and Laura will discuss their unit's approach to support the development and scaling of climate change tools to help more Ontarians make lower-carbon choices. They will also facilitate a special ‘low-carbon version’ of the Wild Combination game to solicit new ideas for low-carbon decision-making tools, and talk about whether existing open data could be used to support tool development.The Climate Change Action Plan: https://www.ontario.ca/page/ministry-environment-and-climate-changeAbout ‘Wild Combination’: https://www.connectedlab.com/wildcombination
