Carbon Down. Community Up.

Accelerating Ottawa’s transition to an equitable carbon-neutral future.

Unlocking Opportunity by Turning Ottawa’s Economic Crown Jewel Emerald Green

Ottawa's Kanata North Tech Park is driving economic growth and has a growing demand for energy services. OCAF is working with partners to meet this demand in a clean, resilient way.

Ottawa Climate Action Fund Seeks Executive Director

If you’re an entrepreneurial, collaboration-minded and proven leader with a passion and the knowledge to help Ottawa pursue meaningful emissions reductions community-wide, we’d love to hear from you!

We scale up climate solutions in ways that benefit community.

Equitable climate action

90% of Ottawa’s carbon emissions come from buildings and transportation. We know how to bring our carbon down. The local solutions to climate change create good, green jobs, bring us resilient, more affordable housing, deliver efficient local transportation systems, and make life better for everyone. But we need to scale those solutions up. Clearing the barriers to faster, more effective action is what OCAF is all about.
