Accelerating equitable climate solutions across Canada

Landmarks from each city our LC3 Centres are hosted in in Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal, and Halifax. Lines and circles connect the landmarks together to represent the collaboration between these Canadian cities.

Low Carbon Cities Canada (LC3) is accelerating climate action by supporting cities in reaching their carbon emissions reduction potential and unlocking the national potential of the best local solutions.

LC3 works with local municipalities and community partners to demonstrate, de-risk and scale up local climate solutions that both reduce key emissions sources and create valuable and equitable community benefits.

Our Impact

A Pan-Canadian Network

LC3 is a collaboration among seven local Centres in city regions that are home to 50% of Canadians, and the Federation of Canadian Municipalities’ Green Municipal Fund. It was established thanks to an endowment from the Government of Canada.
