Excited to share the first nationwide study to assess #floodrisk hotspots in #Canada where high #socialvulnerability coincides with high residential #floodexposure. Hotspots comprise 410 census tracts, 1.7 M population, and 254 K residential properties. doi.org/10.1111/risa.13978
Our new research paper identifies climate risk hotspots using 48 indicators and proposes evidence-based pathways for resilient coastal governance in Bangladesh.

Climate resilience is not just about infrastructure; it’s about institutions. Our new study identifies practical pathways to strengthen governance for climate-resilient coastal socio-ecological systems in Bangladesh.

Introducing PSoVI, a Bayesian machine-learning framework that maps social vulnerability to flood risk across Canada, explicitly accounting for uncertainty. From major cities to remote communities, it supports fairer, evidence-based risk management.

Over a thousand #CanadianHindus and allies united in front of Toronto City Hall showcasing our unity and resolve—we will not be silenced anymore. We demanded immediate and meaningful action from #CdnPoli to end the #HinduGenocideInBangladesh. CoHNA once again urges lawmakers to recognize the global #HinduPersecution and ensure the protection of #BangladeshiHindus.
WATCH: Massive crowds gather in NYC despite heavy rains, chanting “we want justice.” Calling for an end to violence and persecution of Hindus in Bangladesh and holding the perpetrators accountable immediately.
This has become a worldwide movement. Standing with Hindus in Bangladesh.

President of @CoHNACanada, Rishabh Sarswat, one of the organizers of today’s massive protest in Toronto against the religious violence against Hindus in Bangladesh.
He calls out the Ruling Liberal/NDP party for their failure to condemn the mobs of religious extremists r*ping & m*rdering Hindus in Bangladesh.

Thank you again @RepShriThanedar for continuing the engagement with @StateDept and @SecBlinken.
The key part of your letter below is relevant for @HouseForeignGOP @HouseForeign to follow up on urgently -
“When Congress returns from recess, we must hold hearings to learn more about the failures to protect the Hindus and other minority groups in Bangladesh, as well as how to prevent these horrific actions from taking place again in the future”.

A new article looks at data from P4A's 2020 national survey of Canadians to analyse the social acceptability—public support—of policy tools used to achieve effective #floodriskmanagement in Canada.

Today, the federal government announced the final National Adaptation Strategy. As wildfire smoke blankets cities across Canada, a plan to address the biggest climate risks facing the country has never felt more urgent. Read our reaction:
