Recognizing the unique vulnerability of Canada’s North and the potential for climate change to compromise local and regional environments and communities, the NRT embarked on a focused policy research program to offer practical adaptation solutions. We studied how risk-management tools such as insurance building codes and disaster management can be applied proactively to ensure northern communities and critical infrastructures are able to adjust and adapt to the stresses of climate change.
