Professions Advancing Adaptation Competencies

The impacts of climate change are rapidly shifting the needs and expectations of Canada’s workforce. To successfully adapt to climate change and build a resilient future for all, practitioners working across Canada must adapt to meet these shifting demands. 

The Professions Advancing Adaptation Competencies (PAAC) project examined how climate action competencies can be strengthened and embedded within practice across the Accounting, Engineering, Landscape Architecture, and Planning professions. 

Led by the Climate Risk Institute (CRI), in partnership with the Resilience by Design Lab and South Arm Training and Development, and supported by Natural Resources Canada’s Climate Change Adaptation Program, PAAC supported each profession in understanding their current state, identifying gaps, and recommending practical steps to embed climate competencies into professional practice.
