The main focus of yesterday's roundtable discussions was Climate Proof Canada's new recommendations for climate resilience, which focus on the following four areas:    Building resilient infrastructure and communities Enhancing Indigenous resilience Enhancing disaster Resilience Community health and well-being   These can all be addressed via the government’s National Adaptation Strategy, but we hope these can spark discussions and ideas for all Canadians looking to address climate resilience.

Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) announced over $8.8 million across nine projects in Atlantic Canada under their Climate Change Adaptation and Climate-Resilient Coastal Communities programs. The projects will support regions and sectors in Atlantic Canada in adapting to a changing #climate through developing strategies and resources, improving knowledge and skills, and implementing #innovative adaptation actions to address climate change risks and adaptation gaps. More on funding for these programs in The Short Report: https://lnkd.in/g7sw8qCt

What can we expect to see for the future of climate migration? What initiatives and policies will we need to address this? Climate policy expert Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson explores this in her recent WIRED op-ed "We are poised to see the largest and fastest movement of people in human history. New policy frameworks will be needed. In 2025, we will begin to shift from reactive to proactive, and start to embrace the imperative of climate-driven relocation." https://lnkd.in/es5fj_-q

At the Fourth International Conference on Small Island Developing States in Antigua and Barbuda, IFRC Under Secretary General Xavier Castellanos Mosquera shares our call to action: - Support governments at all levels to better prepare for disasters - Scale up disaster risk reduction and climate adaptation measures that work - Ensure that disaster risk reduction and climate financing reach local communities Together, let's amplify our collective efforts to support Small Island Developing States. #SIDS4

@AustraliaAwards Nepal invites applications for the upcoming Regional Short Course on Integrating Climate Change Adaptation and Disaster Risk Reduction to Reduce Vulnerability. This Short Course will consider how building greater policy coherence between disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation can contribute to advancing sustainable development. Linkages between DRR and climate change adaptation will be explored through the dimensions of policy, innovation, and practice.  The Short Course will include an in-🇦🇺 component. For eligibility criteria and details, and to submit an application, please visit: https://lnkd.in/dXwMpDR9

Adaptation to climate change at the government level involves implementing policies that enhance resilience against environmental impacts. This includes investing in infrastructure like flood defenses and water management systems to protect communities from extreme weather. Governments are also focusing on developing early warning systems and improving disaster response capabilities. Collaborative efforts at local, national, and international levels are essential for sharing knowledge and resources. Overall, proactive adaptation strategies not only safeguard public health and safety but also support economic stability amid ongoing climate challenges.

🇨🇦 As Canada’s North warms, adaptation to climate change is critical for communities and infrastructure. Agencies like ECCC and CanNor are developing standards and strategies to address challenges like permafrost thaw and rising waters. The Standards Council of Canada and Canadian Standards Association are tailoring infrastructure guidelines, while cleanup efforts focus on hazardous substances released by thawing permafrost.

I'm glad to share with you my latest article, focusing on building climate resilience among coastal settlers in Ghana amid dire economic constraints. I highlight the determination of coastal settlers to protect their livelihoods using indigenous approaches and share proposals from academia to mobilise resources to undertake critical climate interventions.
