Institutions and community organizations within the GTA offer partnership opportunities and vital information to assist Brampton in achieving its CEERP objectives and targets. Transportation accounts for 60% of Brampton's GHG emissions and energy costs, and homes and buildings accounts for about 20%. Community organizations can help by assisting in communicating to individuals, families, and businesses on the importance of the CEERP and educating them on the actions they can take towards helping achieve our CEERP goals.
