Watch the Recorded Session
This session was delivered in partnership with COOP Sens Climat and NAMS Canada to support CRIS participants. It is designed to help you move from simply receiving a report to actively shaping and confidently using it in selecting and implementing technical options identified through your CRIS project.
This webinar guides participants through foundational climate change concepts and practical applications for infrastructure planning and decision-making. Over the course of this session, CRIS recipients build a stronger understanding of how climate change affects communities and infrastructure, and how to incorporate both mitigation and adaptation considerations into their work. The session covers:
- Climate change fundamentals: A brief primer on the science and functioning of climate change, including key drivers and impacts relevant to local governments.
- Confidence working with experts: understand how to collaborate, ask the right questions, and guide the work toward your priorities.
- A better-fit Options Report: learn how to ensure your report reflects your local context, constraints, and goals.
- Clear understanding of technical content: break down key concepts like climate risks, adaptation options, and mitigation measures so you can interpret and use them effectively.
- Practical application: use the report to support informed infrastructure decisions and next steps.
- Format: a Live, interactive discussion with dedicated Q&A.
