Canada unveiled a new climate adaptation strategy with a commitment of over $1 billion.

Today’s release of Canada’s first climate adaptation strategy commits the federal government to new goals for preventing deaths from extreme heat, halting the extinction of species, and safeguarding residences in flood- and wildfire-prone areas.

According to the strategy, the nation will be ready to handle the worst effects of climate change. The high-level document mentions several targets but offers no precise figures. Instead, it aims to lay the groundwork for a later rollout of more intricate implementation plans.

The government also announced new funding of $1.6 billion over five years to help kick-start the necessary work. The funds are intended to enhance disaster response, safeguard Canadians from the damaging effects of extreme heat, and replenish the fund for disaster mitigation and adaptation.
