Idea Exchange & Discussion: NRCan’s Climate Change Adaptation Program
Join CLIMAtlantic on August 10 at 3pm (ADT) to explore ideas, potential projects and collaborators for funding proposals for Climate Change Adaptation Program from Natural Resources Canada (NRCan)!
Since there are separate processes and timelines for Indigenous and non-Indigenous applicants, this online workshop will provide tailored facilitated networking and collaboration opportunities for each.
Please note: we expect only those interested in submitting a proposal or in collaborating to participate, and that those with project ideas come prepared to share them.
The deadline to submit proposals to NRCan’s Climate Change Adaptation Program is September 22. Projects must be in the following categories: adaptation skills, economics, emerging issues, and/or natural resource sectors.

Climate Change Adaptation – Evaluating our Work
Virtual
When: Thursday March 2, 2023
This event built foundational knowledge about evaluation and how it can be utilized to monitor and improve adaptation work. Patricia King (Executive Vice President, Insights) and Sabrina Anderson (Qualitative Manager, Insights) of Dig Insights led the session. There were presentations on evaluation basics, breakout group discussions, and case study examples from Dig Insights’ work with organizations such as CLIMAtlantic, ClimateSense, and Government of Prince Edward Island on evaluation of climate adaptation training, programs, service delivery, etc.
Atlantic Canada Flood Mapping Conference
Natural Resources Canada partnered with CLIMAtlantic to host the first Atlantic Canada Flood Mapping Conference
Halifax, Nova Scotia (Virtual & in-person)
When: October 5 and 6, 2022
The Atlantic Canada Flood Mapping Conference aimed to address some of the key challenges concerning flood hazard mapping methodologies applied in the Atlantic provinces. The event hosted presentations from both flood mapping practitioners and flood map users followed by interactive discussions to facilitate knowledge sharing across academia, government, non-profit organizations, Indigenous communities, and consultants.
The targeted outcome was to bring more clarity for local stakeholders across the flood mapping framework, as well as highlight best practices in the region.
