CLIMAtlantic facilitates access to data and information that supports adaptation to climate change in Atlantic Canada through collaboration, networking, and partnerships.

Why does adaptation matter?

Due to the greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere over many years, simply reducing emissions is no longer enough to prevent the worst effects of climate change.

As a result, adaptation is required and is key to managing the risks and worst-case scenarios from climate change.

What are the impacts of climate change?

The impacts of a warming planet are sea-level rise, inland flooding, storm surges, saltwater intrusion, biodiversity loss, increased extreme heat, drought, and erosion. The level of damage caused by these impacts can be reduced and sometimes prevented. The cost of prevention is far less than reactive measures after impacts.

How CLIMAtlantic can help

As awareness of climate change grows, so does the demand for climate services. Accurate data supports decisions to reduce the impacts of climate change.

Our focus is on creating a strong network, generating a wealth of information sharing amongst colleagues, in addition to supporting specific place-based work.

Don't miss these two upcoming presentations highlighting key solutions to respond to climate change:1. A framework for implementing nature-based coastal adaptation strategies. This directly guides practitioners in working with community residents, landowners, coastal resource users, and governments to implement natural vs. hard infrastructure. Presented by: Dr. Danika Van Proosdij (Saint Mary’s University & TransCoastal Adaptations)2. Examples of coastal environmental design with nature shown through interactive maps, narrative, and visualizations of a wide range of ways to prepare for sea-level rise and floods. Presented by: Dr. Kees Lokman (University of British Columbia)Friday, May 27, 2022 from 2 – 3pm ASTRegister here:laurentian.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_5WOEW8WNTduPYo8F2B4PxQ~~Ne manquez pas ces deux présentations à venir qui mettent en avant des solutions clés pour répondre au changement climatique :1. Un cadre pour la mise en œuvre de stratégies d'adaptation côtière fondées sur la nature. Ce cadre guide directement les praticiens dans leur travail avec les résidents des communautés, les propriétaires fonciers, les utilisateurs des ressources côtières et les gouvernements pour mettre en œuvre des infrastructures naturelles plutôt que dures. Présenté par : Dr. Danika Van Proosdij (Université Saint Mary's et TransCoastal Adaptations)2. Exemples de conception environnementale côtière avec la nature montrés par des cartes interactives, des récits et des visualisations d'un large éventail de moyens de se préparer à l'élévation du niveau de la mer et aux inondations.

What should a successful National Adaptation Strategy include?

Canada is falling behind peer countries on climate change adaptation. Canada’s first ever National #Adaptation Strategy, expected by the end of 2022, is the opportunity to catch up.
