Stratégie nationale d’adaptation : plus nécessaire que jamais

The Canadian Climate Institute emphasizes the necessity of the federal government's national adaptation strategy to protect infrastructure and communities from wildfires, floods, and extreme heat. While the strategy sets national priorities and measurable goals, the Institute argues that current funding is insufficient and calls for stronger intergovernmental coordination and accountability mechanisms to translate the strategy into tangible results.

• The national adaptation strategy is essential for protecting critical infrastructure—such as power lines and telecommunications towers—and housing from extreme heat, floods, and wildfires, with a particular risk noted for Indigenous communities.
• The national adaptation strategy establishes national priorities and measurable objectives, including mapping flood-risk zones, training professionals like engineers and urban planners in climate resilience, and providing federal support to municipalities and Indigenous communities.
• The federal government's commitment of 1.6 billion dollars over several years is viewed as insufficient because it merely offsets the end of other programs rather than adding new funding.
• Successful implementation requires three key elements: immediate and massive investment (starting with the 2023 Fall Economic Statement and 2024 Budget), better coordination between federal departments and provincial, territorial, and Indigenous governments, and a strengthened system for monitoring and accountability.
