In March of 2011, the MRC Pontiac adopted an Environmental Policy and committed to reducing greenhouse gases within the office, as well as raising public awareness. That same year, an inventory of greenhouse gas emissions at the municipal level was published, followed by the creation of an action plan to reduce emissions.
Beginning in 2019, the MRC placed renewed emphasis on climate protection by updating these municipal inventories and creating awareness campaigns that can be used by both employees and citizens.
