SUMMARY:Quispamsis Engagement Session - Building Connected Communities: Ada
 pting 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\;&nbsp\;
 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 an
 alysis tool to support decision-making. These engagement sessions will als
 o involve sharing resources and related tools to support your communities 
 in gaining the capacity to implement nature-based climate solutions as wel
 l as the preliminary results of a public survey of opinion of New Brunswic
 k residents on nature-based climate solutions.&nbsp\;
 These engagement s
 essions are targeted towards municipal/local government staff and elected 
 officials but we also welcome representatives from local community organiz
 ations and interested local residents.
 There will be engagement sessions
  in the Dieppe&nbsp\;on February 22nd\, Fredericton on February 28th\, Edm
 undston on February 28th\, Bathurst on March 1st\,&nbsp\;Perth-Andover on 
 March 1st\, Quispamsis on March 3rd\, online on March 14th.

 ment sessions are being held as a component of the Research and Knowledge 
 Initiative project Supporting Climate Risk Mitigation for Municipalities w
