Description

We fund projects that enhance long-term climate resilience in communities in an equitable and inclusive manner. This funding is intended for communities who are already aware of their climate risks and know which projects will help them make the greatest strides in improving their climate resilience.

This funding empowers local governments to implement equity-informed climate adaptation projects, with an emphasis on projects that provide low-carbon and nature-positive community benefits.

    • research institutes (e.g., universities)
    • Indigenous community

Eligible Expenses

  • Incremental costs associated with improving the design of a capital project to incorporate climate-resilient elements
  • Enhancing municipal service levels to respond to climate risks

  • Dam, dike or channel decommissioning and floodplain restoration
  • Wetland restoration or construction
  • Rehabilitating important aquifer recharge areas
  • Installing, retrofitting or upgrading green infrastructure (e.g., rain gardens, bioswales, green roofs and/or permeable pavement)
