Wanted: Case Studies in Climate Change Adaptation Planning

In cooperation with Natural Resources Canada, the Canadian Institute of Planners (CIP) is looking for projects that exemplify excellence in climate change adaptation planning. They hope to collect 10 case studies from across Canada. The case studies will be crafted into a publication that will be distributed by CIP and Natural Resources Canada.

The objective is to expand an adaptation planning tool kit of Canadian planners by providing more examples that can be transferred to workplaces across the country. Consider submitting an innovative project, large or small, that you and/or your team have completed. CIP will work with you to write up the case study and prepare it for publication.

If you have a project, or know of one, that you think other planners can learn from, please send the particulars to Jacklyn Nielsen at reception@cip-icu.ca. They will get in touch to explore using your case study. Please submit your projects as soon as possible.
