Webinar, May 15, 2024 at 11:30 a.m.<\/strong> Eastern Daylight Time (in English) with translated captions in French.<\/p>\n

Hosted by Sabine Dietz, Executive Director, CLIMAtlantic Inc.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Climate change affects municipalities in multiple ways: having to open cooling centres during heat waves, heating centres during power outages; flood damage due to heavy rainfall events that overpower stormwater management systems, coastal storm surge events damaging municipal infrastructure; trees being downed during post tropical storms, and an increasing need to have disaster response mechanisms and plans updated and in place.<\/p>\n

For all municipalities in Atlantic Canada, large or small, using nature-based approaches can only have benefits \u2013 and not just for managing impacts from climate change, but also, at the same time, actually reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and benefiting nature and thus biodiversity.<\/p>\n

Yet there are numerous barriers for municipalities to even consider thinking \u201coutside the box\u201d, associated with priorities, financial and human resources, and most clearly, a lack of understanding of what services and functions nature (ecological systems) can provide to reduce the impacts from climate change, and support emissions reduction.<\/p>\n

This presentation will discuss opportunities for communities to use nature-based approaches (and ecological restoration) to achieve multiple benefits, how barriers can be addressed, and some of the practical ways this can be achieved.<\/p>\n

This webinar has been pre-approved for 1 CEC <\/strong>CERP\/CERPIT<\/strong><\/a> Program run by SER.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Session d\u2019information, le 15 mai 2024 \u00e0 11h30<\/strong>, heure avanc\u00e9e de l’Est (en anglais avec des sous-titres en fran\u00e7ais)<\/p>\n

Pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 par Sabine Dietz, Directrice g\u00e9n\u00e9rale, CLIMAtlantic Inc.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Le changement climatique affecte les municipalit\u00e9s de multiples fa\u00e7ons : n\u00e9cessit\u00e9 d’ouvrir des centres de climatisation pendant les vagues de chaleur, des centres pour se r\u00e9chauffer pendant les pannes d’\u00e9lectricit\u00e9; dommages caus\u00e9s par les inondations dues aux fortes pluies qui submergent les syst\u00e8mes de gestion des eaux pluviales, mar\u00e9es de temp\u00eate c\u00f4ti\u00e8res qui endommagent les infrastructures municipales; arbres abattus pendant les temp\u00eates post-tropicales, et n\u00e9cessit\u00e9 croissante de mettre \u00e0 jour et de mettre en place des m\u00e9canismes et des plans d’intervention en cas de catastrophe.<\/p>\n

Pour toutes les municipalit\u00e9s du Canada atlantique, grandes ou petites, l’utilisation d’approches fond\u00e9es sur la nature ne peut \u00eatre que b\u00e9n\u00e9fique – et pas seulement pour g\u00e9rer les impacts du changement climatique, mais aussi, dans un m\u00eame temps, pour r\u00e9duire les \u00e9missions de gaz \u00e0 effet de serre et profiter \u00e0 la nature et, par cons\u00e9quent, \u00e0 la biodiversit\u00e9.<\/p>\n

Pourtant, de nombreux obstacles emp\u00eachent les municipalit\u00e9s d’envisager de sortir des sentiers battus. Ces obstacles sont li\u00e9s aux priorit\u00e9s, aux ressources financi\u00e8res et humaines et, plus clairement, \u00e0 un manque de compr\u00e9hension des services et des fonctions que la nature (les syst\u00e8mes \u00e9cologiques) peut fournir pour r\u00e9duire les impacts du changement climatique et favoriser la r\u00e9duction des \u00e9missions.<\/p>\n

Cette pr\u00e9sentation abordera les possibilit\u00e9s pour les communaut\u00e9s d’utiliser des approches bas\u00e9es sur la nature afin d’obtenir des avantages multiples, la mani\u00e8re dont les obstacles peuvent \u00eatre surmont\u00e9s et certains des moyens pratiques pour y parvenir.<\/p>\n
