Calgary needs a Climate Strategy. Please vote yes.
I am writing to ask that you vote in favour of passing “Calgary Climate Strategy - Pathways to 2050” on July 5, 2022 and proceed with planning to ensure actionable climate adaptation and mitigation plans with generous funding are reflected in the upcoming budget process. I am also concerned about the misinformation that is circulating regarding the investment needed to implement the Climate Strategy and how that might influence councillor support of the much needed strategy. It is false that the cost to Calgarians will be $88 billion, or $3 billion per year until 2050. This is the estimated cumulative investment from all levels of government, private businesses and industry (e.g. investment in green technology, installing solar panels on commercial buildings) and private citizens (e.g. buying an electric car, residential building retrofits). Missing from these narratives is acknowledgment that this investment is accompanied by returns and savings of $72 billion. It is also estimated that the socioeconomic impacts of inaction will cost $2.6 billion annually by the 2050s. Moving forward with the “Calgary Climate Strategy - Pathways to 2050” is vital to the health of Calgary and Calgarians. We cannot afford to continue with inaction.
