  • Climate Adaptation and Resilience in Commercial Real Estate (Opens in a new Window)

    Extensive resources exist to support climate adaptation for municipalities, communities and critical infrastructure. Yet, there remains little comprehensive technical content addressing adaptation specifically for the commercial real estate sector (CRE) in Canada. To support the CRE sector, the objectives of this study are to identify and review guidance, frameworks, protocols, tools, academic publications, industry publications and other essential resources for conducting climate-risk assessments; best practices for climate resilience measures for the CRE sector; existing codes and standards in Canada and abroad that are relevant to climate resilience in CRE; and potential opportunities where standardization could support climate resilience in CRE.

    Climate-Resilient Buildings and Core Public Infrastructure: an assessment of the impact of climate change on climatic design data in Canada (Opens in a new Window)

    The report provides an assessment of how climatic design data relevant to users of the National Building Code of Canada (NBCC 2015, Table C-2) and the Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code (CHBDC/CSA S6 2014, Annex A3.1) might change as the climate continues to warm.

    Health of Canadians in a Changing Climate (Opens in a new Window)

    This assessment is the first comprehensive study of current and projected risks from climate change to the health of Canadians since 2008. It was developed by a team of more than 80 subject matter experts from regional and federal health authorities and academic institutions across Canada. It addresses the evolving knowledge needs of government decision makers, civil society organizations, and individual Canadians by providing evidence-based and, where possible, quantitative information to help people understand how Canada’s climate is changing, and the effects on health and health systems, including implications for those most at risk in society. For key risks to health, it also examines current efforts to prepare for climate change, from individual to national levels, and explores what further efforts are needed. The potential for very large co-benefits to health of well-designed measures to reduce GHGs are also explored.
