Community Climate Adaptation Plan for the Waterloo Region – Canada

The “Community Climate Adaptation Plan” for Waterloo Region outlines strategies to enhance resilience against climate change impacts like extreme weather, flooding, and rising temperatures. Developed collaboratively with community stakeholders, the plan focuses on four key areas: health and community, built environment, natural environment and water, and energy and economy. It includes 15 objectives and 36 actions addressing climate adaptation needs through local solutions, emphasizing equity, sustainability, and collaboration. The plan adopts ICLEI’s BARC framework, which guides climate adaptation through assessment, planning, implementation, and monitoring.
