Quelle sera notre réponse à la menace qui se profile pour les infrastructures canadiennes ?

The document highlights the vulnerability of Canadian infrastructure to climate change, noting that current construction often relies on outdated climate data. It proposes four key actions: improving climate risk information, integrating climate considerations into all government infrastructure decisions, requiring risk disclosure from owners and investors, and increasing financial support for municipalities to fund resilience projects.

• Canadian infrastructure is increasingly vulnerable to climate change, as evidenced by the 2021 floods in British Columbia, leading to billions of dollars in repair costs for governments, businesses, and households.
• Current infrastructure planning in Canada is inadequate because it relies on historical climate data and fails to account for future risks, such as continuing to invest in real estate in flood-prone areas.
• The Canadian North is particularly at risk due to a lack of strategy to address the degradation of critical infrastructure, including airports and roads, built on melting permafrost.
• To improve resilience, the author recommends four strategic shifts: producing better climate risk data, updating national and provincial building codes, mandating climate risk disclosure for investors and owners, and providing direct funding and revenue-generating powers to municipalities.
• Existing financial mechanisms, such as the two-billion-dollar federal Disaster Mitigation and Adaptation Fund, are insufficient to meet the scale of municipal needs for infrastructure resilience.
