Summary
The document identifies nature-based solutions to address climate hazards in Canada, categorizing interventions by environment (coastal urban, riverine, and rural) and listing specific co-benefits such as carbon sequestration and food production.
Key insights
- Natural infrastructure solutions for coastal urban areas to combat extreme heat, coastal storms, and sea level rise include green roofs, sand stabilization, marsh restoration, and artificial reefs, which provide co-benefits such as carbon sequestration, aquatic habitat, and recreation.
- Interventions for riverine and rural areas to address flooding, extreme heat, drought, and wildfires include shelterbelts, nutrient filtration, and prescribed fire, offering co-benefits like agroforestry, food production, and species habitat.
