Webinar: Turning climate adaptation plans into projects

A growing number of municipalities have been building climate adaptation strategies into municipal plans—but turning those plans into tangible infrastructure projects can be challenging.

Join us for this webinar to explore tools and insights that can help your municipality move from planning to implementation. You’ll hear from staff working with or for municipalities across Canada on how they’ve approached project prioritization and turned plans into action. Whether you’re part of a small, medium or large community, you’ll come away with strategies to identify and prioritize infrastructure projects that strengthen local climate resilience.

What you’ll gain:

• Strategies how to identify and prioritize climate adaptation infrastructure projects that align with municipal plans and budgets.
• Guidance on tools and resources to support project prioritization and implementation.
• Insights to navigate common challenges and uncover opportunities when advancing from planning to action along the way.
