Learning Journey: Climate Resilience and Asset Management

Learn how you can reduce your community’s vulnerability to climate change

Our communities are becoming increasingly vulnerable to the hazards and impacts posed by the changing climate. While no two communities are alike in their experience, there are ways to manage the risks and maintain the services that residents and businesses have come to expect.

One of the most important things you can do is integrate climate change into your asset management practices and decision-making. Municipal service delivery depends on the local built and natural infrastructure, and climate impacts can put those infrastructure assets at risk. As Canadian municipalities enter a period of significant asset renewal, we can collectively ensure that resilient infrastructure is part of the solution.

If you’d like to learn more about how climate action and asset management can fit together in your municipality, we want to help. We’ve designed this web page and the resources on it to help you better understand how it all fits together. Below you’ll find a video, two fact sheets and a guide. With each resource we tell you what you’ll learn and how long it will take to complete that step on the journey.

We invite you to join us for this learning journey. Enjoy these resources in order or skip ahead to the information that’s most valuable to you.
