Description: To go along with the requirement that all municipalities had to prepare a Municipal Climate Change Action Plan (MCCAP), SNSMR recognized that it needed to provide some direction as to how to undertake this and what would be expected of such documents. Hence, the department decided to prepare the Municipal Climate Change Action Plan Guidebook (Guidebook) to assist in this regard. The majority of work on the Guidebook was done within SNSMR, with consultation of climate change experts, for example within the Nova Scotia Department of Environment – Climate Change Directorate (CCD). ACAS funding was to assist with the development of a professional and accessible publication, as well as make it possible to disseminate the document in hard copy form to all municipalities and other related parties. The Guidebook is intended to provide some background on the issue of climate change, and the impacts and challenges it may pose, though the major component of the document is to provide a planning framework process to assist municipalities in the development of their MCCAP.
