Climate Action at the Community Foundation

In November 2021, the Community Foundation of Greater Peterborough signed the Canadian Philanthropy Commitment on Climate Change (CPCCC).

We know that climate change is already starting to affect the Peterborough area.  We also recognize that climate change is such a huge problem, that it’s hard to know where to put our efforts.  The CPCCC provides us with a framework that ensures that the Community Foundation continues to put climate change on the agenda as we work to build a vital community for everyone.

By signing the CPCCC, we pledged to take action across seven pillars and to build equity and Indigenous leadership into the process. This report is part of the learning process for staff, board, and committees alike. It is a tool for facilitating conversations, informing plans and inviting questions.
