Regional Action


Here’s a small sample of the climate change adaptation work underway around the region:

  • Atlantic Climate Adaptation Solutions (ACAS): ACAS is a partnership between the four Atlantic Provinces and Municipal Associations, Natural Resources Canada and the Atlantic planning and engineering associations.  It is a multi-million dollar, three-year project aimed at helping Atlantic communities adapt to coastal impacts and groundwater changes.  
  • Atlantic Adaptation Strategy:  The Council of Atlantic Environment Ministers has identified climate change, and adaptation in particular, as a key environmental issue. This document proposes a regional approach for New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland & Labrador.
