Canadians want to be ready to tackle the challenges of a changing climate in order to build a better future. This is why the government is investing in adaptation, while creating good jobs and growing the economy.

Robert-Falcon Ouellette, Member of Parliament for Winnipeg Centre, on behalf of the Honourable Amarjeet Sohi, Canada’s Minister of Natural Resources, today announced support of $478,000 to the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) through Natural Resources Canada’s Climate Change Adaptation Program.

Through its Prairie Regional Adaptation Collaborative project, the IISD will strengthen regional knowledge and capacity to adapt to a changing climate in the region. This will be achieved by strengthening regional partnerships, sharing best practices and providing decision-makers with the knowledge, tools and resources needed to integrate climate change adaptation into planning, policy and operations.

The IISD is an independent think tank championing sustainable solutions to 21st century problems, with the goal of promoting human development and environmental sustainability.

Today’s announcement is part of the government’s plan to cut pollution, grow the economy and build healthier communities for all Canadians.
