Outaouais Climate Partnership commits to a greener future

Mélissa Gélinas

On October 28, 2024, the independent initiative Outaouais Climate Partnership was launched to reduce greenhouse gas emissions responsible for global warming.

Inspired by the Montreal Partnership and Quebec Climate Capital, it is Outaouais’ turn to accelerate its green shift. To do this, many economic, philanthropic and community stakeholders, as well as the co-president and rector of UQO, Murielle Laberge, and the president of the company Good4.Global and the organization Cercle d’envol, Josée Lusignan, have mobilized to join the fight against climate change. In addition, the Kitigan Zibi Anishnàbe community will also support the initiative.

Together, they will work hand in hand with the City of Gatineau and the Outaouais region to achieve their objectives. The building, transportation and development sectors will be among the priorities of Partenariat Climat Outaouais since they are the largest generators of greenhouse gases in the region. A mobilization committee will be ready to develop concrete projects to achieve the objectives set for combating climate change.

With the impacts of climate change increasingly felt, it is essential to mobilize and find solutions to better adapt and live in an environment that is more respectful of nature.
