Significant public and private investment is required to adapt Canada’s infrastructure to climate change impacts. Climate adaptation is chronically underfunded, not only in Canada but around the world. Adaptation accounted for only 7 per cent of climate finance flows in 2021.

This new report explores innovative models of infrastructure investment and provides recommendations for what governments can do to incentivize and de-risk private investment so communities can adapt or build resilient infrastructure.
