The City of Niagara Falls is taking a proactive approach to reducing the impacts of a changing climate and extreme weather on the community’s built, social, natural, and economic systems by guiding the development of a Climate Change Adaptation Plan.
The adaptation planning process is supported by ICLEI Canada and a core team out of the Municipal Works Department and Mayor and CAO’s Office.
The work undertaken, along with measures that will be implemented once this project is completed, will help the City minimize the negative impacts of climate change by addressing local risks while seizing any local opportunities to increase resilience.
City Departments and community partners are providing input into developing an Adaptation Plan for the whole community from February to August 2023. The information will help prepare the City for a changing climate and build local resilience.
