Mobilization at the heart of local decarbonation strategies
With over 900 participants, the 3rd edition of the Sommet Climat Montréal demonstrated that the Montreal community was once again mobilized to accelerate the city’s transition and make it more resilient to climate change.

Quote from the general management of the Partenariat Climat Montréal
Conceived and designed as a collective milestone for all key players in the metropolis, this year’s Climate Summit focused its programming on implementing climate commitments and supporting organizations in their transition. Through some twenty activities, as well as kiosks and networking opportunities, participants were able to equip themselves, meet other change agents and leave with concrete elements to implement within their own organizations.
