The Energy Transition Climate Resilience Committee (ETCRC) is made up of 15 Edmontonians who serve a 2-year term and help implement 2 strategic plans:  Edmonton’s Community Energy Transition Strategy and Climate Resilient Edmonton: Adaptation Strategy and Action Plan.

The Committee encourages and promotes the strategies, provides advice to Council regarding their implementation and assists Council in developing performance measures. The committee provides a wide and strategic perspective on issues relating to energy transition and climate resilience in Edmonton.
