Approaches to Climate Resilience in rural, remote, Northern and Indigenous Communities

This presentation was delivered at the Community Solutions Network innovation exchange event (October 14, 2022)

The Issue

• Communities across Canada already face climate change impacts
• The costs and damages to property and infrastructure are rising
• Risk exposure may increase with climate change
• 90 percent of Canadian Energy Utilities have also been impacted
• Community systems and energy distribution systems are essential, interconnected, and must be adapted to become more resilient
