The first call for projects aimed at reducing GHG emissions in the Greater Montreal area received many highly relevant proposals. We would like to thank all the submitting organizations for the effort they have put into their proposals. We’re energized to see such an effervescence of initiatives and solutions for the climate and the well-being of the Greater Montreal area..
Six projects stood out for their potential for replicability and scaling up, their potential to reduce GHGs, as well as their consideration of the principles of inclusivity, equity or reconciliation with disadvantaged or marginalized communities.
