Climate Change Adaptation CollaborativeiCAL Export

An opportunity to meet and to learn how each of the managers of Parks NB is working to adapt their park to our changing climate.  This meeting will also open up opportunities for collaboration on educating the public on climate issues, while addressing the specific needs of the Parks.

Coastal Connections is a speaker series highlighting different coastal and marine areas of New Brunswick. This fall we will be highlighting the Quoddy Region, an incredible place in need of protection. Monthly speakers will share information about different aspects of the Quoddy Region and attendees will have the chance to ask questions. Each event will be hosted virtually. You can attend one event or all of them based on your interests. Our first event in the series will be held Oct.13th @ 7pm (AST). To register, click this link: https://us02web.zoom.us/.../tZErf...

DO YOU LIVE IN FREDERICTON, N.B.?

You’re invited to take part in a virtual conversation hosted by the Conservation Council of New Brunswick in partnership with the Green Resilience Project where you’ll join with fellow community members to discuss the links between climate change, income security, and community resilience.

Dans le cadre de ses activités en lien avec le développement durable, l'institut de recherche VALORĒS , en collaboration avec IPAA et le Projet GAIA, organise le Forum "Terre-à-Terre". Une journée d'échanges où les entreprises et organisations de notre région auront l’occasion de présenter ce qu’elles font de mieux pour encourager le développement durable dans leur communauté, et participer à des causeries qui aborderont les questions liées à l’économie circulaire et la valorisation des ressources naturelles.

This February, join youth leaders in conversation with Dogwood staff about their organizing successes, along with hard-hitting political analysis on what it takes to win a better world for and as young people. These sessions are geared toward Canadian youth who want to organize for climate justice in their communities; and non-profit organizations that are looking to deepen their work with youth organizers. Each session will include critical analysis, real-world examples of success and failure, and time for Q&A.

THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED

A free follow up workshop by the Climate Change Adaptation Collaborative to its November 2021 conference (click here to see recording)  

Learn about the Environmental Farm Plan and how it can help the agricultural community adapt to climate change.
 
The Environmental Farm Plan (EFP) is designed to help farmers create a practical plan that encompasses environmental sustainability while also meeting the farmers economic and social needs. Addressing climate change is being incorporated within the plan. A national program, the EFP is delivered by NGOs across the country.  In New Brunswick, the Agricultural Alliance of NB helps deliver the program and members of both the Agricultural Alliance of NB and The National Farmers Union of NB have to join the program.
 
This workshop aims to:

• provide a beginner guide to the EFP process: learn what it is, and how one gets implemented

• create opportunity to ask more nuanced and/or technical questions about the EFP 

• bring farmers together with ENGOs to see where partnerships can be formed around the Environmental Farm Plan.  

This conference is shaping up to have a valuable array of speakers that will appeal to many sectors in climate adaptation.  If you are a land-use planner, agriculturist, muncipality, housing developer, or someone who works in climate change adaptation, there will be something for you.  

Join the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society - New Brunswick Chapter (CPAWS NB) as they host a "Watch Party" of the documentary Last of the Right Whales! 

Last of the Right Whales is an unparalleled look at one of the rarest animals on earth, and the people devoted to saving a great whale species from extinction. Join CPAWS NB at the Charlotte Street Arts Centre in Fredericton, to watch this gripping story of the scientists, fishermen and conservationists in the search for answers to save one of the largest animals on earth from extinction.

 

Climate change is here, it is happening, and it is impacting New Brunswickers across the province.  Nature-based and natural approaches 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 supporting biodiversity.  

Join us for an engagement session in your region to help us determine how nature-based climate solutions can benefit your communities, what barriers to implementation you might face in your local governments, and how we can best develop a cost-benefit analysis tool to support decision-making. These engagement sessions will also involve sharing resources and related tools to support your communities in gaining the capacity to implement nature-based climate solutions as well as the preliminary results of a public survey of opinion of New Brunswick residents on nature-based climate solutions.

These engagement sessions are targeted towards municipal/local government staff and elected officials but we also welcome representatives from local community organizations and interested local residents.

There will be engagement sessions in Dieppe on February 22nd, Edmundston on February 28th, Fredericton on February 28th, Bathurst on March 1st, Perth-Andover on March 1st, Quispamsis on March 3rd, online on March 14th.

These engagement sessions are being held as a component of the Research and Knowledge Initiative project Supporting Climate Risk Mitigation for Municipalities with Nature-based Infrastructure - Research and Knowledge Initiative. The New Brunswick Environmental Network is leading this project along with project partner Nature NB and is supported by an advisory committee including representatives from the New Brunswick Climate Change Secretariat, CLIMAtlantic, Infrastructure Canada, Union of New Brunswick Municipalities, and the Association francophone des municipalités du Nouveau-Brunswick. This project is funded in part by Infrastructure Canada and the New Brunswick Environmental Trust Fund.

As a part of the Research and Knowledge Initiative, the NBEN contracted Atlantic Canada based polling firm, Narrative Research, to conduct a public poll on the understanding of and support for nature-based climate solutions by New Brunswick Residents. The reports are available here. Join us for a free one-hour webinar to learn about our findings in more depth, and how these findings are informing the future work of the project and gaps in the area of adaptation and mitigation of climate change in New Brunswick. These results provide context for how concerned New Brunswickers are about the effects of climate change, how prepared they feel to combat the effects, and their preferences regarding nature-based versus engineered approaches to climate adaptation.This webinar may be of interest to government staff, residents, non-profits, and businesses working in the realm of adaptation to climate change and infrastructure.
