The Select Committee on Climate Change, an all-party committee of the Legislative Assembly, is responsible for consulting the public and interested stakeholders on the issues raised in the discussion guide entitled Building a Stronger New Brunswick Response to Climate Change.
The purpose of the discussion guide is to help begin a dialogue on how New Brunswickers can strengthen our collective efforts to fight climate change in a way that respects New Brunswick’s distinct economic challenges and opportunities. The guide presents background information on climate change in a New Brunswick context, discusses potential actions that could be taken, and asks important questions to help stimulate discussion and develop ideas.
