Mississauga's climate action plan is moving to public consultation after the draft version of the more than $450 million initiative was presented to city council on Sept. 18.

The 30-year plan aims to cut all greenhouse gases in Mississauga by 30 per cent in 2030 and 80 per cent by 2050. The targets would be based on 1990 greenhouse gas levels and be achieved through numerous measures, including mandating renewable energy production at new city buildings by 2024.

Installing renewable energy capacity at the city’s buildings could cost an additional $40 million on top of the plan’s initial $450 million price tag.

During the Sept. 18 council session, Mississauga Mayor Bonnie Crombie said that the plan was "testing our mettle."
