The Government of Canada launched the Climate Toolkit for Housing and Infrastructure! It helps communities across the country adapt to a changing climate when planning their #infrastructure and #housing projects. Check out what is available, such as: 1.     A Climate Help Desk to provide direct support to address infrastructure and climate related inquiries; 2.     A Roster of Climate and Infrastructure Experts to access advice about climate-related factors for public infrastructure and housing projects; and 3.     A Climate Toolkit Platform with tools and resources to help communities integrate climate change factors into their projects. This initiative will help tackle the effects of a changing climate on our infrastructure by improving the safety of buildings, homes and communities. Access these tools and join us in building up Canada, one project at a time. Learn more:  https://lnkd.in/e5iVbucq Environment and Climate Change Canada

CRI and the Ontario Woodlot Association are excited to offer the next delivery of the practical course on forest climate resilience to woodlot owners and practitioners.    We are all facing uncertainties as forests and ecosystems are changing due to climate change.    In the face of these challenges, OWA and CRI have developed an instructional course focused on assessing and adapting management of woodlots to projected climate change impacts. 🌳🌎    We hope that through participation landowners and forest practitioners will further develop their knowledge of potential impacts and adaptations to the unique challenges of climate change. By doing so we can work towards creating resiliency in society and on the landscape to face future uncertainties and disturbances.    📅October 21 – December 15, 2024  🖥️Online & self-paced  ✅OWA member discount    🔗https://lnkd.in/gdMNECGT Proof of attendance will be provided for professional development accreditation.    Learn more here 👉https://lnkd.in/gdMNECGT    #ClimateResilience #ClimateUpskilling #Forestry #ForestClimateResilience #WoodlotManagement #ClimateChangeAdaptation #Resilience
