Ontario Regional Adaptation Collaborative (2018–2021)
The Climate Risk Institute is leading the Regional Adaptation Collaborative (RAC) in Ontario. The program is an initiative of Natural Resources Canada and aims to catalyze coordinated and sustained adaptation planning, decision-making and action across Canada’s diverse regions, and to facilitate collaboration of diverse stakeholders at the regional level with local governments and organizations. Through this program, the Climate Risk Institute is building adaptation capacity for multi-sectoral, multi-partner action through learning from past action, building regional partnerships, enhancing adaptive capacity in Ontario communities, and targeted dissemination of adaptation resources. This initiative is possible with support from Natural Resources Canada.
For more information, please contact the Project Manager, Jackie Richard.
