Champions for Positive Change
We all have a role to play!
The success of Durham Region's net-zero commitment cannot be achieved by regional and local government alone. Businesses, industry sectors, community organizations and individuals all have an important contribution to make in the changes necessary to address climate change while we also adapt and build prosperity.
The Durham Climate Roundtable is comprised of volunteer committee members from the Region of Durham, the eight local area municipalities and community and business organizations.
