Introducing Participants in the Alberta Low Carbon Cohort

The Municipal Climate Change Action Centre is pleased to announce the participants in the Alberta Low Carbon Cohort—a collaborative initiative designed to accelerate climate action and build capacity for local energy transition projects.

This cohort brings together municipalities, community related organizations, and Indigenous Communities committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, improving energy efficiency, and saving energy dollars. Through expert support, shared learning, and peer collaboration, these participants are shaping a low-carbon future for Alberta.

Each of these participants is taking bold steps to plan, design, and details projects that reduce emissions, improve energy efficiency, and support local sustainability goals.

About the Program

The Alberta Low Carbon Cohort is offered in partnership with the Municipal Climate Change Action Centre (MCCAC) as part of the Climate Ready Infrastructure Service (CRIS).
CRIS is delivered by the Canadian Urban Institute and funded by the Government of Canada.

What the Cohort Offers

Participants in the Alberta Low Carbon Cohort receive comprehensive support valued at $20,000, including:

• Expert guidance: CRIS connects local governments and communities with top climate experts to integrate low-carbon resilience into local infrastructure projects across Canada.
• Education and capacity building, including webinars on technical and strategic topics and peer working group sessions for collaboration and shared learning

This combination of technical expertise, peer support, and funding alignment ensures that communities are well-equipped to deliver impactful projects.

Looking Ahead

This cohort will advance their projects and learnings over the next 5 months.

Applications for an Alberta Adaptation and Resilience Cohort of the Climate Ready Infrastructure Service will open in February 2026. Prospective participants are encouraged to visit the program page and subscribe to the MCCAC newsletter, The Current Climate, to be notified when the application period begins.

General service requests to the Climate Ready Infrastructure Service can be made at any time on their website.
