A Nelson, B.C., city councillor is encouraging civic politicians to team up to combat climate change. Rik Logtenberg's Climate Leadership Caucus has already enlisted 57 councillors and mayors from across Canada, mostly from B.C., since January. Logtenberg says getting municipalities on board to help deal with climate change is key. In terms of transportation, Logtenberg wants to help residents transition from cars to transit and options like electric bikes. Logtenberg says they are asking for federal funding directed toward municipal projects on environmental adaptation and fire mitigation.
