Climate Change Adaptation Plan

Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Linkedin Email this link

Climate change is a reality that our community is currently facing. Already, we are seeing how climate change impacts our local infrastructure, economy, and well-being. 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.

Our adaptation planning process is supported by ICLEI Canada https://iclei.org/ and a core team out of our 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 us for a changing climate and build local resilience.
