正文(英文) | May 24, 2019—Sudbury, Ontario—Natural Resources Canada Canadians’ quality of life — and our future growth — are deeply tied to the environment. That is why Canada continues to tackle climate change and invest in adaptation measures that will prepare our communities and industries for a greener future. Paul Lefebvre, Parliamentary Secretary to the Honourable Amarjeet Sohi, Canada’s Minister of Natural Resources, today announced an investment of more than $680,000 for the Mining Innovation Rehabilitation and Applied Research Corporation (MIRARCO) for two projects that will help Ontario adapt to climate change. Funded through Natural Resources Canada’s Climate Change Adaptation Program, the projects will help MIRARCO provide local communities with the tools and knowledge needed to better understand and adapt to the impacts of a changing climate. The first project — Assessing Vulnerability to Climate Change in a Northwestern Ontario Forest Region — will help MIRARCO and its partners undertake a forest vulnerability assessment. The findings will demonstrate how local knowledge and research can help identify and minimize the impacts of climate change on forest management. The second project — Ontario Regional Adaptation Collaborative — will provide communities and industry with resources that will help them understand climate change risks and take adaptation measures. This will give them the essential tools to incorporate climate change adaptation into planning and decision-making. The MIRARCO’s Climate Adaptation Centre is dedicated to assisting communities and sectors in adapting to climate change by providing climate science and adaptation tools. The Centre is also a resource hub for researchers and stakeholders searching for activities, events and resources on climate change impacts and adaptation. The global shift toward a cleaner, greener economy is the opportunity of a lifetime. From May 27 to 29, 2019, Canada will welcome over 25 countries to this year’s Clean Energy Ministerial and Mission Innovation Ministerial to discuss a future that is cleaner, brighter and more prosperous for generations to come. Canada will showcase its leadership in cleantech innovation, champion gender equality and participation by youth and Indigenous peoples in clean energy, and promote Canada as an investment destination.
