Climate Stories Atlantic is an initiative of the Climate Focus Society, a Nova Scotia non-profit organization dedicated to covering stories about community climate solutions.
After a summer of wildfires, heat & toxic air, 250+ city leaders urge Ottawa to fund “nation-building, not nation-burning” projects.
Elbows Up For Climate says a clean grid, housing, & transit could strengthen economic independence, lower emissions & reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
In our latest article we look at the Efficiency Nova Scotia programs working to bring energy retrofits to traditionally underserved communities dealing with the challenging and often complicated issues around title and property ownership.

Toronto researchers found that big-name grocery stores each dispense 2,000 of these single-use plastics a day.
