Options pour l'adaptation aux conditions météorologiques extrêmes
These primers offers different ways to adapt to extreme weather events for individuals, communities, and municipalities including planning ahead, using nature-based approaches, built infrastructure, and policies and programs. They are not intended to be comprehensive, but rather short summaries of well-researched adaptation approaches that may be relevant for Atlantic Canada.
Drought
Options specifically for farms and garden are also included.
Wildfire
Options specifically for forests and woodlots are also included.

Boîte à outils pour l’Adaptation aux changements climatiques dans les collectivités côtières du Canada atlantique
The companion resource, consisting of three parts, to our Coastal Adaptation Toolkit.
Part 1 Guidance for Selecting Adaptation Options
Published: 2023
Part 1 introduces climate change adaptation for the coastal regions of the Atlantic Provinces, and:
- describes five main categories of adaptation approaches;
- describes climate change impacts in Atlantic Canada;
- characterizes coastal environments;
- presents criteria for adaptation decision-making; and
- links adaptation tools and strategies to Atlantic coastal settings
Part 2 Land Use Planning Tools Adaptation Options
Published: 2023
Part 2 presents the over 50 land use planning tools for coastal climate change adaptation that are within the Coastal Adaptation Toolkit. Overviews of land planning and management frameworks, and legislation that could support coastal climate change adaptation in Atlantic Canada and First Nations are also included.
Part 3 Coastal Intervention Options and Engineering Considerations
Published: 2023
Part 3:
- presents the over two dozen engineering and intervention options to manage coastal flooding and erosion used within the Coastal Adaptation Toolkit;
- describes their suitability for different coastal conditions and climate change adaptation objectives; and
- identifies the technical and permitting requirements for these adaptation options.
Élévation du niveau des océans et ses conséquences sur santé publique
Created in partnership with the National Collaborating Centre for Environmental Health, this project examines how public health perspectives can be used to communicate risks and identify adaption measures for reducing adverse health impacts of sea level rise in the most vulnerable communities. Intended for public health practitioners, health authorities, impacted communities, and provincial and municipal climate change adaptation leaders.
Overview of Canadian Communities Exposed to Sea Level Rise
Published: 2022
An overview of Canadian communities most at risk from exposure to sea level rise. The geographical parameters of the study include the coastal areas of Atlantic Canada, Canada’s North, and British Columbia, including Indigenous coastal and island communities at risk.
Health Risks Associated with Sea Level Rise
Published: 2022
A summary of the available evidence on the impacts on human health and well-being that may be driven by sea level rise. This information is intended to assist public health professionals and others involved in climate change adaptation to better incorporate health considerations into adaptation planning for affected coastal communities.
Community-based Adaptation Approaches to Sea Level Rise and Health
Published: 2023
A review of a desktop scan of Climate change adaptation plans (CCAPs) for communities identified in “Overview of Canadian communities exposed to sea level rise” to assess if and how public health considerations have been incorporated into CCAP actions for vulnerable communities.
Identifying Health Priorities in Sea Level Rise Adaptation Planning
Published: 2023
A report identifying key public health priorities and types of adaptation measures for communities likely to be impacted by sea level rise, and knowledge gaps and areas for further research. Input from focus group discussions and interviews from Atlantic Canada, Canada’s North, and BC, including impacted Indigenous communities, is included.
Ressources sur l'éco-anxiété
Climate change and its impacts can affect our mental health and overall wellness. Here is a list of some resources for support with eco-anxiety.

Aperçu de l'évaluation des risques liés aux changements climatiques au Nouveau-Brunswick
The following information sheets draw on findings from New Brunswick’s Climate Change Risk Assessment, which looks at how climate change is impacting the province today and what we are likely to face going forward. The assessment identifies key issues of concern and opportunities
for action. The information sheets below are categorised by five key focus areas:
- Physical Infrastructure
- Community
- Economic Activities and Livelihoods
- Natural Environment
- Public Health and Safety
These were developed in partnership with the Government of New Brunswick.
