The aim of this project is to fill a knowledge gap on the climate leadership of Quebec companies in climate change adaptation.

This project is a real-life case study on participatory governance being used in municipal settings to address climate change challenges at a regional scale.  The goal is to have public, community and private organizations and residents coordinate their adaptation efforts.

This project aims to deepen knowledge of the complexity associated with cascading failures of critical systems to improve understanding and enable better decision-making on this subject.

This project will contribute to advance methods and metrics for adaptation monitoring and evaluation in critical infrastructure sectors.

The goal of this project is to promote the implementation of disability-inclusive climate change adaptation in the Montréal metropolitan area. It also aims to understand the influence of social, institutional, physical and economic barriers on the climate vulnerability of people with disabilities.

This project aims to implement a new thermal simulation module in the PHYSITEL-HYDROTEL hydrological platform, as well as an LSTM deep learning model, to simulate the temperature of rivers in southern Quebec for a future edition of the Hydroclimatic Atlas of Southern Québec.

This case study will generate hard data on the structure and impact of a continuing education initiative for municipal elected officials. The data will be used directly to improve the UMQ’s training offering, as well as other educational initiatives on adaptation for elected officials and municipal employees.

The aim of this project is to study the knowledge transfer methods implemented by Agriclimat and to analyze their results. The strategies will be used to improve the knowledge transfer on climate change adaptation performed by other organizations in Quebec. 

Adapting to climate change is an increasingly important concern in land use and urban planning. This raises issues that pose challenges to various parties involved in planning for the revitalization of major industrial zones. This project aims to enrich our knowledge of the regulatory possibilities that can offer solutions in this context.

The Climate Equity Lab’s aim is to assemble a wide range of knowledge and experience in order to co-produce an equity toolkit for climate change adaptation to raise awareness and offer support for conceptualizing and implementing fair adaptation solutions.
