Planning for climate resilience

Secondary, Middle

Description

Planning for climate resilience features members of the Canadian Institute of Planners explaining how the planning profession is at the forefront of developing policy, capacity, and climate resilience within communities and environments across the country. 

This video discusses how climate change affects different parts of the country differently and how planners are looking at these effects to adapt new communities. It is available in English and French and also offers closed captioning. 

 

General Assessment

Recommendation of how and where to use it

This video would be excellent to start a discussion on how climate change affects other things than the climate and what changes students could bring to their community.
