Working Together to Increase Resilience in the Face of a Changing Climate

Presented by:
Anita Walker, INAC

Climate change is having very real impacts on communities across Canada. Understanding the extent of these impacts on infrastructure and well-being can help communities better prepare for extreme weather and gradual climate changes. Using both Traditional Knowledge and western science can highlight climate change impacts that are important within a community and help set the stage for considering options to adapt and reduce climate change risk. This presentation will discuss new funding available for climate change adaptation projects in First Nation communities, including an overview of program criteria and how the funding fits with other climate change programs.
