SUMMARY:Edmundston 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.  Nature-based and natural approache
 s 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 suppor
 ting biodiversity. 
 Join us for an engagement session in your region to
  help us determine how nature-based climate solutions can benefit your com
 munities\, what barriers to implementation you might face in your local go
 vernments\, and how we can best develop a cost-benefit analysis tool to su
 pport decision-making. These engagement sessions will also involve sharing
  resources and related tools to support your communities in gaining the ca
 pacity to implement nature-based climate solutions as well as the prelimin
 ary results of a public survey of opinion of New Brunswick residents on na
 ture-based climate solutions.
 These engagement sessions are targeted tow
 ards municipal/local government staff and elected officials but we also we
