This report summarizes best practices in integrating climate change adaptation into seven decision-support tools used by organizations providing essential services supported by infrastructure networks requiring major investments.

The aim of this project was to analyze the practices followed in climate change risk and opportunity assessments (CROAs) conducted at the national level in 11 jurisdictions. This summary presents the findings from a review of the 11 selected CROA reports and semi-structured interviews with the CROA leaders. The 11 CROAs were examined based on 38 criteria grouped into three categories: framing, methodology and dissemination of results.  

The guide to developing a climate change adaptation plan is specifically designed to support municipal organizations in Quebec in their adaptation processes by helping them assess and manage the risks associated with climate change.
