Adaptation Governance in Canada

Summary

The release of Canada's first National Adaptation Strategy (NAS) provides an opportunity to review and revitalize how the federal government coordinates the development and implementation of adaptation policies and programs across departments. As governance systems play a critical role in efforts to adapt to climate change, establishing an effective and efficient federal adaptation governance system will be critical to determining how actors within the federal government come together to collaboratively plan and align adaptation actions.
