Explore a toolkit for urban planners and adaptation specialists, providing guidance on integrating climate adaptation into urban planning.

This article details key messages and recommendations from an ACT, SFU and Western University co-hosted workshop on climate change adaptation and governance in the context of British Columbia.

This research project outlines the benefits, challenges, and successes associated with transboundary ecosystem management in Still Creek, a riparian ecosystem located in Metro Vancouver, BC, Canada.

The report begins by examining climate change and extreme weather in Canada. A policy framework identifies goals, principles and instruments associated with effective climate adaptation policy. Finally, the report analyzes two sectors that are particularly sensitive to extreme weather events—emergency management and infrastructure—and identifies specific adaptation actions in these areas.

This report aims to contribute to the development of Canadian climate adaptation policies targeted at extreme weather events.
