    Climate Risk, Responsibility, and Liability for Municipalities: Exploring Municipalities’ Responsibilities to Consider, Manage, and Disclose Climate Change Flood Risks (Opens in a new Window)

    This report was inspired by a need for resources that can help municipalities in Atlantic Canada understand how the climate crisis may affect their responsibilities and liabilities. many municipalities in Atlantic Canada have limited resources to invest in climate change adaptation; some struggle even to access information that would help them to identify the most pressing climate risks within their jurisdictions. Some municipal governments may want to take action but do not know where to begin or how best to prioritize limited resources—uncertainty made all the more paralyzing by the spectre of liability for failing to do the right thing. This report considers climate risk, responsibility, and liability for municipalities in the specific context of climate change flood risks.
