Description
Climate change is one of the most serious challenges facing government and community leaders today. Many communities across Canada are already experiencing the impacts of climate change. It is critical to examine how climate change will aff ect your community and to prepare for more variable weather patterns. In the past, communities were planned with the assumption that basic weather and climate patterns would remain the same over time. Today, the climate is much less predictable and communities need to prepare for uncertainty and extremes. Outlined in this workbook is a seven-step process to help you examine your community’s vulnerability to climate change. The issues examined are coastal vulnerability, fl ooding, slope movement, drinking water supply, wildfi res, and winter conditions. This workbook is one of many tools that your community can use to prepare for climate change and other weather related hazards.
