This report by Maggie Hope Braun (KICLEI Canada) examines the financial, legal, and governance implications of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities–ICLEI Partners for Climate Protection (PCP) program. It highlights how global climate initiatives can erode local autonomy, burden municipal budgets, and overlook community priorities.
Through a clear analysis of program milestones, costs, and liabilities, the report offers a localist alternative—a call for councils to focus on practical environmental stewardship, community well-being, and fiscal responsibility. It concludes with a withdrawal resolution template for municipalities seeking to prioritize local governance and sustainable, locally-driven solutions.
