Learn, act and connect
The municipality's Environment & Climate Change team and the Ecology Action Centre worked with local artists to create the Climate Commitment Badges because we believe that everyone has a role to play in climate action.
The HalifACT Climate Commitment Badges set achievable goals that let you improve the well-being of your family, friends and community, while also working to secure a stable climate for future generations.
How to get started
The Climate Commitment Badge is a vow to take climate action. If you received a badge at an outreach event, follow through on your commitment by trying some of the challenges listed in the sections below. If you have not gotten your climate badge yet, click on one of the sections below to discover what it means to commit to climate action, then head to the Ecology Action Centre or attend Nocturne 2024 to pick up a badge.
How to use this site
Because it is hard to know exactly what you can do to make an impact on the climate crisis, we've tidied up some of the clutter and put together a starter pack of helpful resources.
In the sections below, you'll explore the basic science of climate change, the importance of clean transportation and the massive benefits of improving the efficiency of our buildings.
Wear your badge with pride and strike up conversations about this handpicked collection of videos, articles, podcasts and more.
