Canada's National Adaptation Strategy presents a blueprint for whole-of-society action on climate change adaptation. It outlines a shared path to a more climate-resilient Canada and establishes a shared vision of what we want our future to look like.

The impacts of climate change and extreme weather are affecting our lives in Canada. We are already experiencing record-breaking climate events – from wildfires to extreme heat waves to floods – all across the country. Pervasive and slow onset events like permafrost thaw and sea-level rise are changing landscapes and threatening safety and livelihoods.

The choices and adaptation actions we take today will help decide the future of our communities, our livelihoods, our environment, and our economy. We must act now to create a climate resilient society.

Canada’s first National Adaptation Strategy outlines a shared path and sets common direction for a more climate resilient Canada through:

  • Resilient roads, bridges, sewers and other infrastructure
  • Healthier communities
  • Enhanced biodiversity and nature conservation
  • A more climate resilient economy and workers
