Climate Initiative
In October 2009, nine WECP members signed the Calgary Climate Change Accord. These cities commit to being environmental leaders and catalysts for change by utilizing official policies and plans to reduce municipal government greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
They commit to reduce these emissions from their 2005 baseline levels by a minimum of 20% by 2020 and a minimum of 80% by 2050. The signing cities further commit that within the limit of their authority and leadership, their municipal governments will pursue parallel GHG reduction strategies within their communities.

Aberdeen, Scotland, UK
Calgary, Canada
Halifax, Canada
