Change for Climate is a climate change initiative from the City of Edmonton.

The City is moving towards a greener, more sustainable future. Our innovative bus wash system is an example of how we are doing that by using recycled water to keep our bus fleet shiny and clean.

Efforts like bus wash water recycling are part of the City's environmental management system which helps guide the decisions and actions we take. Known as Enviso, this ISO 14001 certified program follows the highest international standard for environmental management.

Planting trees, lots of them, can help mitigate the effects of greenhouse gases. Trees capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and with younger trees capturing more, the effect will happen sooner than later. While it's not a total solution (after all, we still need to reduce our emissions), trees also have other benefits such as habitats and food for animals, clean air and shade from the sun.

Get started

The City of Edmonton's Root for Trees has a number of programs, from tree planting events, advice on tree planting and more. Once you've planted a tree, be sure to add it to the yegTreeMap.
