The Environment in Canada Podcast Building Flooding and Shoreline Resilience Together: Staying Safe in a Changing Climate
Yumeng speaks with Dr. Anabela Bonada from the Intact Centre on Climate Adaptation about Canada’s rising shoreline risks, and flooding in general, and the practical, low-cost steps residents can take to stay safer. Together, they explore the new Managing Rising Risks: Climate-Resilient Shorelines for Canada report, why shorelines matter for community resilience, and how everyone can prepare for flooding and erosion in a changing climate.
