Canada’s climate action plan underfunded, unclear regarding top risks: report
Canada’s climate adaptation strategy is underfunded and does not clearly align its goals with the country’s top climate change risks, a new report says.
Ryan Ness, the institute’s director of adaptation research, said other countries with similar national strategies, like New Zealand and Germany, did assessments to define the top issues that need co-ordinated national attention. Ness said the government likely already has the data on what those national priorities are, but it needs to “show its work.”
The report also found the funding for the action plan is “inadequate,” only representing an average annual increase of about $200 million in federal investments in climate change adaptation.
