Preparing our community to respond and adapt to changes in climate is important to our Region which is why we have the Durham Community Climate Adaptation Plan (DCCAP).
This plan looks at how we can change our systems and structures to prepare our community for climate change and extreme weather. This plan is designed to enable us to work with our communities and stakeholders to develop solutions that will make our community resilient as our climate continues to change.
Cross sectoral opportunities exist for collaboration around adaptation efforts. In Durham Region many of our key industry sectors are already well positioned to proactively address the challenges and opportunities of climate change through a focus on clean energy, clean tech and sustainability.
