Climate change knows no borders: its international repercussions can be felt even in our own backyard. This project studies transnational climate risks and impacts in Quebec in the food processing and battery industries. 

This project aims to improve the understanding of the Montréal public transit system’s vulnerability and exposure to extreme rainfall. It will also help identify adaptation solutions and tools supporting collaborative infrastructure governance.

This project aims to study the benefits of a prospective, collaborative approach within two supramunicipal bodies in Quebec that are engaged in a collective adaptation process, to see if it can promote broad-based engagement in a more transformational, systemic kind of adaptation.

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.
