Description: Finding ways to adapt to or mitigate climate change impacts will be an ongoing challenge for the municipality in the future. As a start to that process, West Hants has participated as a municipal partner in the Atlantic Climate Adaptations Solutions (ACAS) program, one of the main aims of which is to stimulate climate change adaptation planning and decision-making. This case study report has been prepared as part of West Hants’ contribution to the ACAS program. The report provides an overview of the municipality in terms of its physical, ecological, social, economic and management makeup; climate change issues of importance; an evaluation of ACAS research projects and activities; identification of existing and proposed climate adaptation projects and activities that may be considered by the West Hants; identification of limits or restrictions to implementing those projects; and overall conclusions and lessons learned from the ACAS program.
