The Green Will Initiative
The Green Will Initiative is a City program that seeks to accelerate the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from buildings in Toronto. Buildings are the largest source of emissions in Toronto today, generating more than half of all local emissions.
In October 2019, City Council declared a climate emergency. In light of the Climate Emergency Declaration, The Mayors Office announced The Green Will Initiative which reflects the City’s commitment to accelerate greenhouse gas emissions reductions in the building sector. Later in October, the Mayor announced the Initiative on the international stage at the C40 World Mayors Summit in Copenhagen, Denmark.
