IBC applauds @nsgov's STORM program, which will help municipalities strengthen stormwater resilience. Flooding is Canada's most frequent & costly natural disaster. This shows gov's commitment to helping communities prepare for future flood risks.

The federal government's new report on climate change is clear: climate risks are growing, and the window to prepare is narrowing.
Climate Proof Canada is calling on the federal government to accelerate implementation of the National Adaptation Strategy and to prioritize adaptation in Budget 2026.
Investing in resilience today costs far less than recovering from disasters tomorrow.

According to a UN Report released today, Canada will face increasing climate change impacts and "we have to live with this warmer world."
This underscores how urgently we need to adapt. Canada must renew and invest in the National Adaptation Strategy to ensure Canadians are protected from this new reality.

Climate Proof Canada has issued a statement in response to the federal government's National Adaptation Strategy Progress Report:

Climate Proof Canada applauds the federal government's commitment of $34.2 million to support 141 municipal climate adaptation projects through the Green Municipal Fund’s Local Leadership for Climate Adaptation Initiative.
The announcement recognizes that building climate resilience is a smart investment: every dollar spent on climate resilience measures in Canada can save up to $15 in the long term.
As Canada faces increasingly frequent and severe weather events, we need to act urgently to make our communities more resilient to climate-related disasters.

As Ottawa pursues an ambitious nation-building agenda, it should remembered that the weather interrupted nation's Canada Day party.
Without a stronger focus on adaptation, natural disasters will increasingly undermine the economic and infrastructure objectives that we are collectively working to achieve.

As temperatures soar in regions across the country, Climate Proof Canada applauds the government's recent commitment to address the health risks of extreme heat. This $17 million investment in HealthADAPT and HeatADAPT will support 24 community-designed projects and will help adapt Canada’s health sector to the dangers of extreme heat events and chronic heat exposure.

The recent House of Commons report “Protecting Canadian Residents from Extreme Weather Events” demonstrates the whole-of-society-approach needed to adapt to extreme weather and the important role government must play in protecting Canada’s future.
Climate Proof Canada urges the government to implement the report’s recommendations to protect our homes, communities and health through a comprehensive approach to climate adaptation.

Today's Senate Committee Report: "Canada on Fire" sparks an important conversation about improving wildfire preparation.
#ClimateProofCanada particularly echoes the recommendation to include adaptation measures in the 2030 National Building Code and incentivizing residents to purchase FireSmart homes.
Additionally, the Senate Committee calls for a coordinated approach in response to the human and health-consequences of wildfires.

6,837 wildfires. 232,359 evacuees. 14.6 million hectares burned in 2023.
A new report from the Senate Committee on Agriculture and Forestry highlights the need for stronger federal investment and improved coordination to respond to Canada’s escalating wildfire crisis.
Wildfires continue to displace communities across the country, with First Nations, Métis and Inuit communities facing heightened risk due to location and limited resources and infrastructure.

#ClimateProofCanada applauds Definity and Mars working together to advance climate adaptation through their Adaptech Accelerator.
This initiative will help Canadian ventures scale technologies that strengthen climate adaptation and resilience, and includes pilot opportunities between three ventures and three municipalities in partnership with @ICLEI_Canada.

Despite BC's deadly heat wave in June, 2021, there are still between 10,000 and 15,000 low-rise apartments in the province without adequate cooling systems.
Government's can do more to protect all residents from extreme heat. #ClimateProofCanada

This #EPWeek2026, I joined my provincial and territorial counterparts to share a simple message: know your risks and be prepared.
Emergencies can happen anywhere, at any time. Taking small steps now can make all the difference.
#ClimateProofCanada welcomes this investment to strengthen Canada’s emergency management response and capacity. As Canada faces increasingly severe and frequent weather events, this will help protect Canadians and create safer communities.

Climate Proof Canada applauds this announcement to boost Canada’s aerial wildfire capacity. This is a meaningful investment to strengthen frontline response ahead of the 2026 wildfire season. #CDNpoli #ClimateProofcanada
Canada is strengthening its wildfire response.
Our new government announced a $316.7M investment to expand national aerial firefighting capacity through CIFFC that will use this funding to lease and manage the deployment of that capacity where it is the most needed.
We are taking leadership by bolstering support to provinces and territories and helping protect communities from growing wildfire threats. 🇨🇦🌳

Climate Proof Canada extends a heartfelt thank you to Definity, our valued coalition member and sponsor of our parliamentary reception.
Yesterday's event brought together like‑minded organizations and elected representatives to build momentum for a more climate‑resilient Canada.
We’re grateful for Definity’s contribution, in particular, Craig Richardson and Brendan Seale, to a meaningful and productive day on the Hill.
