SUMMARY:Dieppe Engagement Session - Building connected communities: adaptin
 g to the climate crisis through nature
DESCRIPTION:Climate change is here\, it is happening\, and it is impacting 
 New Brunswickers across the province.&nbsp\; Nature-based and natural appr
 oaches to adapting to climate change focus on implementing infrastructure 
 that restores and protects natural areas while removing greenhouse gasses 
 from the atmosphere\, reducing flooding and stormwater surge risks\, and s
 upporting biodiversity.&nbsp\;
 Join us for an engagement session in your
  region to help us determine how nature-based climate solutions can benefi
 t your communities\, what barriers to implementation you might face in you
 r local governments\, and how we can best develop a cost-benefit analysis 
 tool to support decision-making. These engagement sessions will also invol
 ve sharing resources and related tools to support your communities in gain
 ing the capacity to implement nature-based climate solutions as well as th
 e preliminary results of a public survey of opinion of New Brunswick resid
 ents on nature-based climate solutions.
 These engagement sessions are ta
 rgeted towards municipal/local government staff and elected officials but 
 we also welcome representatives from local community organizations and int
 erested local residents.
 There will be engagement sessions in Dieppe on 
 February 22nd\, Fredericton on February 28th\, Edmundston on February 28th
 \, Bathurst on March 1st\,&nbsp\;&nbsp\;Perth-Andover on March 1st\, Quisp
 amsis on March 3rd\, online on March 14th.
 These engagement sessions are
  being held as a component of the Research and Knowledge Initiative projec
 t Supporting Climate Risk Mitigation for Municipalities with Nature-based 
 Infrastructure - Research and Knowledge Initiative. The New Brunswick Envi
 ronmental Network is leading this project along with project partner Natur
 e NB and is supported by an advisory committee including representatives f
