#WavemakerWednesday 🌊
@Val_Plante was elected Mayor of Montréal in 2017 with a bold, progressive plan. Now in her second term, Plante’s deep commitment to participatory democracy continues, engaging residents around pressing urban issues like housing, transit, planning, public services, and the environment. Under her leadership, Montréal adopted a Climate Plan that sets out a clear roadmap to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions to 55% beneath 1990 levels by 2030, and a Zero-Emission Zone to be implemented in downtown Montréal by 2030. And the plan requires a climate test for all municipal decisions.
