Climate change is a global problem, affecting all countries. While greenhouse gases (GHGs) form naturally, many human activities add additional GHGs to the atmosphere. Heating and cooling buildings, using energy at home and work, driving vehicles to move people and goods, powering industrial processes - most things we do that consume energy contribute to the problem.
The Strait-Highlands Region, which includes Inverness County, Richmond County and the Town of Port Hawkesbury, have joined the Partners for Climate Protection Program in 2005 with the Strait-Highlands Regional Development Agency (S-HRDA) taking a lead role toward sustainability. Pooling together resources, each partner municipality will benefit in many ways from being part of a more sustainable region.

The Strait-Highlands RDA recently completed Milestone Three of the Strait-Highlands Green Action initiative that involved the building of an energy and emissions inventory (emissions audit), setting municipal and community emission reduction targets and the development of a regional action plan to meet the targets.
