Flood risk management in Canada's coastal regions

Coastal regions in Canada are vulnerable to the impacts of climate change (PDF), such as rising sea levels, changes to the intensity of storm surges and eroding coastlines.

Over the years, governments have made efforts to identify opportunities for adapting to climate change. For example, municipalities in the Province of Nova Scotia recently completed a Municipal Climate Change Action Plan (PDF). Adaptation responses can take many forms, whether they are structural investments (e.g., building sea walls) or non-structural measures (e.g., land use policy changes that account for sea level rise).
