Canada’s rapidly changing climate and associated hazards are making our infrastructure, buildings and homes more vulnerable. Communities across Canada urgently need to increase their resilience towards climate vulnerabilities and mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Often, those communities most at risk lack access to the information and expertise they need to effectively assess their climate risks and build low-carbon resilient infrastructure and housing. The Climate Toolkit for Housing and Infrastructure offers a suite of free, open access resources, tools and supports, to help understand climate change risks and vulnerabilities to public infrastructure, calculate GHG emissions, inform actions to reduce those emissions, and develop infrastructure that is more resilient to climate change. Staff from Housing, Infrastructure, and Communities Canada presented on how communities can access and benefit from these services.
