Bruce Power will partner with the council of the Great Lakes Region to conduct a climate change study over the next three years.
The study will look at the role that Bruce Power and other sectors might play in tackling climate change on a local and regional level, and how companies can adjust their corporate strategies to limit their impact.
Experts will also study the impact of a changing climate on various ecosystems and sectors in the Great Lakes, including the region’s aquatic environment, fisheries and Bruce Power’s operations.
The Great Lakes region is a globally-significant bioregion and freshwater resource, as well as an economic powerhouse.
"There are still things we can do on our site, in our community, and regionally to reduce the impacts of climate change and meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own economic, social and environmental needs," says James Scongack, vice president of corporate affairs and environment at Bruce Power
Bruce Power and the CGLR have previously collaborated on a study titled "Driving Economic Growth & Keeping the Air Clean: The role of nuclear power in the Great Lakes Region," which can be downloaded at brucepower.com.
