What it does

Through this program, NRCan advances climate adaptation in Canada by: Convening Canada’s Climate Change Adaptation Platform, a national, multi-stakeholder forum that brings together representatives from federal, provincial and territorial governments; Indigenous organizations; industry; professional; and not-for-profit organizations; and researchers to collaborate on delivering adaptation actions and building resilience across Canada. Leading Canada in a Changing Climate, the national assessment of how Canada’s climate is changing, the impacts of these changes and how we are adapting to reduce risk. The resulting reports will serve as a resource for Canadians, raising awareness of the key issues facing our country and providing information to support sound adaptation decisions and actions. Managing a funding program that facilitates, through co-funded projects, the development, sharing and use of knowledge, tools and practices to enhance practical action on climate adaptation. Delivering the Building Regional Adaptation Capacity and Expertise (BRACE) Program, which works directly with the provinces to increase adaptation uptake and advance related activities by building capacity through training, internships and knowledge exchange activities.
