Laurentian University will lead a climate change adaptation project in collaboration with First Nations communities. The project has received $546K in funding from the Government of Canada’s Climate Change Adaptation Program. Laurentian Up North on Climate Lead Chantal Sarrazin-Delay explained, the university will partner with four Northern Ontario Tribal Councils to conduct community-based climate change risk assessments and adaptation planning. “Together, we are creating an online resource and micro-credentials to share the impacts of climate change on First Nation communities” said Chantal Sarrazin-Delay. “The GeoHub will feature accessible, dynamic story maps highlighting community experiences and adaptation ideas, blending Indigenous and Western knowledge to build resilience.”
