Les feux incontrôlés qui ravagent Canada appellent résilience

The document highlights the increasing frequency and severity of wildfires in Canada, emphasizing that current support systems are strained. It calls for the full implementation of the National Adaptation Strategy, modernization of infrastructure, and a change in financial aid to prioritize preparation over intervention. The author notes that adaptation is critical for economic security, citing that every dollar invested in adaptation can save up to 15 dollars in avoided costs.

• Wildfires are increasingly affecting the Prairies, British Columbia, and Northern Ontario, causing mass evacuations and widespread smoke pollution, reflecting a broader trend of multiplying climate disasters.
• Municipal and Indigenous governments are disproportionately burdened by climate emergencies, particularly in small rural and northern communities where limited capacity can delay interventions and complicate coordination.
• Canadian municipalities manage approximately 60% of public infrastructure, much of which was designed for a stable climate and now requires costly repairs and modernization to withstand increasing climate risks.
• Climate adaptation is presented as a necessity for Canada's economic security, as disasters like fires and floods disrupt supply chains, increase insurance costs, and displace workers.
• Investment in adaptation is highly cost-effective, with a Canadian Climate Institute study indicating that each dollar spent can generate up to 15 dollars in avoided costs and economic benefits.
