Clean Foundation is excited to welcome the Town of Pictou as one of the 19 communities being supported through the Community Climate Capacity (CCC) program. The CCC program is funded by the Nova Scotia Department of Environment and Climate Change (DECC) and was created to build capacity and empower Nova Scotian communities to become more resilient to the effects of climate change.
Clean will provide staffing support in the form of a climate lead, and a team of specialists with expertise in planning, mitigation, adaptation and funding who will help guide the Town of Pictou with identifying and working towards their local climate and sustainability goals over the next three years. Through this program, the Town of Pictou will use climate projections in waterfront planning; create green jobs; work with neighbouring municipalities on climate action projects.
