Fredericton Community Climate Hub

Mission: To advance climate action through education and mobilization in the Greater Fredericton Region, empowering members of our community to become environmentally conscious residents who contribute to a resilient, equitable, and livable city for all.

The Fredericton Community Climate Hub is a grassroots organization looking to create transparency and build a culture of sustainability and social resilience in the region. Our organization grew out of public meetings convened in Fredericton in late 2023. We are part of the Climate Reality Project Canada’s national network of Climate Hubs. We became an incorporated Non-Profit organization in March 2024. Our members include mobilized residents, actors, non-profits and businesses within the Fredericton Region.

We strive to empower and mobilize Frederictonians in individual and collective efforts to address climate change, and to make our city more resilient, adaptive, self-sufficient and sustainable. We seek to create awareness, build a climate-aware community of care, partnering with like-minded organizations and demonstrating what practical actions can be taken with a liveable climate in mind.

We envision a community that understands, engages, and collaborates on climate action, working collectively towards a healthier and more resilient environment for our current and future generations.

Our mandate encompasses mobilizing residents, NGOs, and municipalities in the region to accelerate the development of climate adaptation and mitigation plans. We are committed to ensuring these plans integrate a social equity lens, leaving no community behind in the transition towards a sustainable and resilient future.

Our main pillars:

• Cultivate collaboration amongst environmental, social aid, and justice-oriented NGOs, residents, and municipalities to create a coalition for effective climate action
• Prioritize social equity by focusing on marginalized, underserved, and at-risk communities, ensuring their voices are heard and needs addressed in climate initiatives
• Education and outreach initiatives aimed at raising awareness on climate change, adaptation, and mitigation strategies
