Canada’s climate change Adaptation Platform, chaired by Natural Resources Canada, facilitates collaboration among a wide range of members towards increasing the resilience of industry and communities to a changing climate. Members, who are producers and users of adaptation knowledge and tools, include representatives from federal, provincial, and territorial governments, industry sectors, communities, researchers, and Indigenous, professional, and not-for-profit organizations. Additionally, Regional Adaptation Collaboratives, including the Pan-Territorial Adaptation Partnership, help disseminate Platform results. One key initiative is Canada in a Changing Climate: Advancing our Knowledge for Action, a series of authoritative science and information products about Canada’s changing climate, its impacts, and how we are adapting to support sound adaptation decisions and actions.
