Webinar: Moving climate adaptation projects into action

Small municipalities often understand their climate risks but turning that awareness into action can be challenging. Limited staff capacity, uncertainty about where to start and pressure to make the “right” choice can stall progress, even when there is interest in moving forward.  

Join us on Friday, February 27 at 2 p.m. ET for a one-hour webinar designed to help bridge that gap. Come with a clear climate challenge or risk and leave with your first next step. The session introduces step-by-step tools and tangible examples from small municipalities to help your community move from early thinking into on-the-ground adaptation activities.  

What you’ll gain

• Clarity on how to identify a realistic first next step to address a priority climate impact in your community
• Guidance on targeted resilience measures your small community can execute
• Suggested toolkits including templates for work planning, RFPs, budgets and impact mapping to make sure you are ready for the next construction season
• Real-world examples of projects undertaken by small, rural and remote communities
• Insights on how equity considerations can be integrated into adaptation projects across all phases

This webinar is helpful for municipal staff from small communities that are struggling to identify actions or facing barriers in progressing from planning into implementation. It will be especially useful for community building, parks and open space, forestry, infrastructure and operations, public health, project coordination and climate staff, as well as regional or partner organizations that support small municipalities.

Speakers:  

• Robyn Holme, Manager, Comox Valley Regional District, BC
• Jake Morassut, Director, Community Services, Office of the CAO, Essex, ON

The webinar will be delivered in English with simultaneous interpretation in French (SI).
