The municipal council unanimously adopted a motion that reaffirms the ambitions of Montreal's 2020-2030 Climate Plan. The City also maintains its goal of carbon neutrality by 2050, particularly through the decarbonization of passenger and freight transport.
The motion provides for dedicating 10% to 15% of the Ten-Year Capital Program (PDI) to direct investments in climate adaptation. It also calls for integrating green drainage infrastructure into street renovations when technically feasible, and for strengthening the resilience of public spaces.
The City will continue its support measures for building adaptation, particularly for social and affordable housing. It commits to maintaining the acceleration of the ecological transition among the pillars of its Montreal 2030 planning and to publishing an annual report on the progress of the Climate Plan.
These commitments concern all of Montreal. Street and public space renovations will need to incorporate resilient designs, when possible. The motion does not specify which projects or sectors will be prioritized.
Property owners and managers will continue to benefit from support measures for building adaptation. The City will report annually on the progress of its Climate Plan.
