Canadian initiatives for adapting to climate change and extreme weather

While there are many programs and initiatives to mitigate and slow the accumulation of Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere, it is very evident that the climate will continue to change and the world will continue to experience increasingly severe weather conditions. Therefore programs and initiatives for adapting to a changing climate and extreme weather are equally important to mitigation programs and measures for attenuating the increase of GHGs in the atmosphere. With Canada's vast land, water, infrastructure and natural resources, measures and initiatives for adapting to climate change and extreme weather are critically important for the protection and use of these resources. This makes sound risk management sense.
