Energy and the Built Environment: Reducing emissions, improving efficiency and enhancing our resilience to climate change (TomorrowNow consultations paper)

June 23, 2014

In 2012 the Government of Manitoba released its environment plan, TomorrowNow.

Its commitments include creating a green economy action plan and updating the climate change plan for the Province of Manitoba.  In efforts to meet these commitments, the International Institute for Sustainable Development assisted the province in developing its innovative green economy action plan as well as updating its climate change plan to address the need to transition to a green economy and low-carbon development framework for Manitoba. The work was carried out through a series of dialogue sessions with key stakeholders on climate change and the green economy. This background paper provides information to the public about Manitoba’s building and energy sectors and their importance for the province to address climate change and strengthen its green economy.
