Climate hazards like flooding, drought, extreme storms, and increased precipitation pose significant challenges to communities across Canada's diverse and varied landscapes. While these challenges are experienced differently across regions, they can threaten the reliability of municipal infrastructure and the vital services they deliver to residents and businesses.
It is important that local governments prioritize and integrate climate planning into their municipal decision-making processes so that they can guarantee the efficiency of infrastructure for current and future climate impacts.
Learn about the importance of integrating climate action into asset management planning with the Building climate resilience with asset management course.
This free, 10-module course is self-paced, with each module taking approximately 30-45 minutes to complete. It is designed for municipal practitioners from communities of all sizes, who are already familiar with the basic concepts of climate resilience and are looking to take their planning to the next level.
In this course, you’ll learn about:
- How weather and climate change impact regions, communities and people
- A framework for building climate resilience with asset management
- How setting levels of service fits into municipal climate resilience
- How to embed climate resilience strategies into your community’s plans and processes
