Climate Change Adaptation Program
About the program
Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) supports Canada’s regions and sectors to adapt to a changing climate through its $39 M Climate Change Adaptation Program (CCAP) (2022–2027). The program aims to:
- support decision-makers in identifying and implementing adaptation actions;
- enhance adaptation knowledge and skills among Canada’s workforce; and
- increase access to climate change adaptation tools and resources.
The program will co-fund projects across Canada that address climate change adaptation in skills / capacity building, emerging issues, economics, and natural resource sectors (forestry, mining, and energy).
The program recognizes the disproportionate impact of climate change on Indigenous, remote, and northern communities and the need to reduce barriers to accessing federal funding for their climate change adaptation initiatives, with funding allocated specifically to support both Indigenous-led projects and projects meeting the Territories’ specific adaptation skills and development needs.
Projects
Projects will be listed as they are officially announced.
