What is Climate Change Adaptation and Why It Matters?

CLIMAtlantic “Adaptation Essentials” webinar series will be launching this summer! This 3-part monthly series will introduce you to:

Climate change in Atlantic Canada: Unique impacts in each province and what’s expected to change
Foundations of climate change adaptation: How it’s different from mitigation, how ALL job sectors play a role in adaptation, and the essential role of equity
Climate data, tools, and services: Where to find resources and how CLIMAtlantic can help
Collaboration: How strong stakeholder and project partnerships further adaptation in our region
And much more, including Q&A sessions with experts
Through this series, we hope to share critical information with you, bring like-minded people together, highlight existing networks, and share further opportunities for collaboration. Whether you’re a landowner, government staff or elected official, work with municipalities, non-profit, a newcomer to the region, or a community member who wants to learn more about adaptation, this series is meant for you – and we hope to see you there!

Here’s everything you need to know:
