Guiding principles are overarching themes of climate action that guide the work of the CCE. Health and equity considerations are intended to be integrated into all aspects of climate action. By integrating health and equity, we are working to ensure that climate actions will help to improve health, well-being, and equity outcomes for all.

Guiding Principles

The CCE has created this Climate Change Charter to support collaboration and unite the region in a common goal of climate action so that all people and communities are resilient and adaptive to the changing climate while simultaneously promoting health, wellbeing, equity, and sustainability. The Climate Change Charter is intended to be a living document that will continue to reflect the urgency, priorities, and climate action across the region.
