This program is designed to build capacity for climate change adaptation by funding community-designed and driven projects. This program funds First Nations and Inuit communities’ efforts to build capacity to adapt to the health impacts of climate change.
There are two streams for the program:
Climate Change and Health Adaptation Program North
Climate Change and Health Adaptation Program South for First Nations South of 60°N
Supporting projects focusing on human health and a changing climate, the program enables communities to:
develop and implement health-related adaptation or action plans
develop knowledge-building and communication materials
support adaptation decision-making at the local, regional and national levels
Some of the areas of adaptation and research that past projects have examined include:
food security and access to country food
documentation of traditional medicines
engagement of Elders and youth
safety while on the land
impacts of extreme weather events
emergency preparedness
access to safe drinking water
impacts of climate change on women and mental health
