AMP Grazing Climate Action Plan (Custom CAP)

A Nature-Based Alternative for Councils

Councils are asking: “If not FCM–ICLEI’s net-zero plan, then what?”

KICLEI Canada’s new Municipal Rotational Grazing Proposal gives communities a clear alternative: a nature-based Climate Action Plan (CAP) rooted in local land stewardship.

This report provides and localized, council-ready proposal that:

• Frames Adaptive Multi-Paddock (AMP) grazing as a cost-effective path to carbon sequestration

• Demonstrates soil, water, and food security benefits for your region

• Positions farmers as partners in climate leadership

• Offers a CAP built on voluntary, local action — not global mandates

Instead of debt-driven “green tech” programs, this approach shows councils how to invest in resilient soils, strong farms, and local authority.
