The Provincial Government is seeking public input on the development of a new, five-year Climate Change Action Plan.
Public engagement on the new plan launched today on the EngageNL platform to gather feedback on issues related to climate mitigation and adaptation, disaster resilience, environmental awareness, community resilience and municipal preparedness.
Sessions with industry and community stakeholders and Indigenous Governments and Organizations will also take place and are key components to informing the new 2027-2032 Climate Change Action Plan.
The goal of the new Climate Change Action Plan is to further reduce greenhouse gas emissions, help communities prepare for and adapt to the impacts of a changing climate and support the province’s transition to net-zero emissions by 2050.
This announcement delivers on the Provincial Government’s commitment to create a new Climate Change Action Plan with clear and achievable emissions reduction targets.
Input will be accepted until November 26, 2026, through an online public questionnaire on EngageNL, by email to climatechange@gov.nl.ca or through written submissions mailed to:
Climate Change Division
Department of Environment, Conservation and Climate Change
