SUMMARY:Adaptation Pathways in Action: Establishing “Thresholds” to Create Pathways to Resilience
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, March 6\, 2023\n8:00am PST \nThis webinar is the second in a series of three featuring practical experiences in implementing “adaptation pathways (AP)\,” a much-discussed approach to planning under uncertainty. Intended for practitioners\, this webinar dives into the AP playbook to discuss a core feature: the development of “thresholds.” Thresholds show at what point along a pathway a place is no longer resilient due to changing conditions. It identifies when a set of actions must be replaced or supplemented for a community to remain resilient (and change “pathways”). \nOur practitioner speakers will share their experience using AP in planning and zero in on how they went about defining resilience thresholds. This conversation will reference the closely linked subject of our third webinar\, scheduled for May\, which will focus on the development of “triggers\,” real time monitoring that can indicate when a shoreline is approaching its threshold of vulnerability and therefore needs to make planning adjustments. \nThe webinar will feature multiple opportunities to ask questions of speakers and for discussion. \nRegister for this webinar on Zoom!

SUMMARY:Webinar: Risk and Return on Investment Tool (RROIT)
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, February 24\, 2023\n10am – 11am PST \nThe Risk and Return on Investment Tool (RROIT) is a multi-flood hazard decision-support tool that helps municipalities\, property owners\, investors and watershed agencies manage their flood-related risks. The new RROIT Water Quality Module is useful for municipalities conducting long-range planning and cost estimating for stormwater pond maintenance. The Water Quality Module evaluates the sediment accumulation in stormwater ponds. RROIT uses data many communities already have at their disposal to identify flood and erosion risks under current climate conditions and for a range of future climate change scenarios. RROIT calculates the potential financial losses associated with flood- and erosion-related impacts and produces maps and supporting information to prioritize areas for attention. \nThis webinar will provide an overview on the inputs required to run RROIT\, show the existing suite of mapping available in RROIT\, the process of engaging Risk Sciences International (RSI) to implement the tool\, and demonstrate what the output map-based products look like to regional municipalities in Southern Ontario. The presenters will also illustrate how to use these products to support decision-makers in Asset Management Planning and valuation to meet the requirements of Reg 588/17. \nRegister for this webinar on Zoom!

SUMMARY:An Observational Constraint to Reduce Uncertainty on Global and Regional Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, February 15\n10:00 – 11:00am PST\nZoom \nMany studies have sought to constrain climate projections and climate sensitivity based on recent observations. Until recently\, these constraints had limited impact\, and projected warming ranges were driven primarily by model outputs. Here\, the presenter describes a new statistical method to narrow uncertainty on estimates of past and future human-induced warming. The approach can be viewed as an adaptation of Kalman Filtering (or Kriging) for Climate Change. The definition of what we call “signal” and “noise” are different from those used in typical weather forecasting systems\, but then the formalism is pretty similar\, and estimation of the “model error” and “observational error” covariance matrices play a central role. This approach allows us to simultaneously attribute historical changes to specific forcings (attribution) and constrain projections. It provides a consistent picture of on-going changes\, through merging model simulations and observations in a Bayesian fashion. Cross-validation suggests that this method produces robust results and is not overconfident. \nThe presenter will describe a few recent applications of this method. Investigation of GSAT changes contributed to the introduction of observational constraints in the IPCC AR6 (one study among others). Historical observations narrow uncertainty on projected future warming by about 50%. More recently\, the same technique was used to provide constrained local scale projections — which is a step forward from the AR6 — which the presenter will illustrate using a specific application over mainland France. Even at the local scale\, observational constraints narrow uncertainty on future warming\, and that local observations provide useful information. The presenter will briefly browse a few other applications\, including some related to the water cycle. The presenter will finish with some perspective and implications of this work. \nRegister for this event on Zoom!

SUMMARY:Climate Change and Fire Management
DESCRIPTION:January 31\, 2023\n9:00am – 10:00am PST\n \nClimate Services Speaker Series: Climate Change and Fire Management\, Dr. Mike Flannigan \nOur climate and associated day-to-day weather are changing rapidly due to human activities that may have dramatic and unexpected impacts on regional and global fire activity. A warmer world means a longer fire season\, more lightning activity\, and most importantly drier fuels. Drier fuels means it is easier for a fire to start\, to spread and it means more fuel is available to burn that leads to higher intensity fires that are difficult to impossible to extinguish. Existing studies suggest regional increases in fire occurrence and area burned although there is significant temporal and spatial variability. Our fire regime is driven by extremes\, and we expect an increase in frequency and intensity of extreme fire weather episodes. Climate change will likely mean more wildfire in the future for many regions of the world including Canada. We will have to learn to live with wildfire. \nJeremy Fyke will discuss an ongoing project to develop future projections of fire weather indices across Canada under climate change. \nNote that the official webinar will run from 12PM to 1PM ET\, however you are welcome to join us for an unofficial question and discussion period from 1PM to 1:30PM ET. This session will be delivered in English. \nRegister for this webinar on Microsoft Teams.

SUMMARY:Facing the Flames - New and Old Ways of Co-Existing with Fire
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, December 6\n5:00-7:00pm (reception to follow)\nHybrid dialogue: Online and in-person\nMorris J Wosk Centre for Dialogue\, 580 West Hastings St.\, Vancouver\, BC \nThe emergence of catastrophic mega-fires over the past five years demands transformative action in BC. Unprecedented fires are burning huge tracts of culturally and ecologically important territory\, threatening lives and livelihoods\, blanketing the province in smoke\, exacerbating systemic inequities\, and releasing staggering amounts of emissions into the atmosphere. It’s a frequency\, scale\, and severity we’ve never seen before\, fuelled by growing climate impacts\, altered forest landscapes\, and the forced removal of Indigenous Stewardship and good fire from these lands.  Catastrophic mega-fires that we’re unable to suppress and control are our emerging reality– but they don’t have to be. \nJoin the SFU Morris J. Wosk Centre for Dialogue in exploring big ideas for the future of wildfire in BC. Speakers Joe Gilchrist\, Salish Interior Firekeeper\, and Paul Hessburg\, Senior Research Ecologist with US Forest Services\, will illuminate the rapidly changing landscape of wildfire and ignite dialogue on pathways forward. \nRegister for this event on Eventbrite!

SUMMARY:We All Take Care of the Harvest (WATCH): Safe and secure harvesting of marine foods in a changing climate
DESCRIPTION:Thursday November 24\, 2022\n11:00am – 12:00pm PST    \nSpeaker: Holly Clermont\, Project Lead at the First Nations Health Authority \nYou may have heard the saying\, “When the tide is out the table is set.” But is it really? Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are one of many threats that are growing in frequency\, duration and intensity in a warming world. New harmful species are making their way into our waters. Toxins are flowing into the marine environment with each atmospheric river. Intertidal species are baking during heat domes. \nThe WATCH Project is a collaborative seafood and climate change pilot project that is examining how climate impacts layer onto existing challenges\, including deeply rooted policy gaps and barriers. With community-based monitoring\, and adaptation planning that explores exposures\, sensitivities and adaptive capacities among human communities as well as the marine food species that are important to them\, we are taking important steps to help ensure safe and secure seafood harvests for coastal First Nations. \nRegister for this webinar on Zoom! \n

SUMMARY:Climate Services Speaker Series - Planning for the future: deriving future climate IDF curves for the City of Calgary
DESCRIPTION:November 24\, 2022\n8:00am – 9:00am PST\nMicrosoft Teams \nIntensity Duration Frequency (IDF) curves relate short-duration rainfall intensity with its frequency of occurrence and are often used for flood forecasting and urban drainage design. Historically\, IDF curves have been calculated from historical rainfall data. However\, planning and design of infrastructure that is resilient in a changing climate requires IDF data that incorporate climate change projections. This presentation will highlight work done for the City of Calgary and the Calgary Airport Authority to develop several types of future climate change data\, including future climate change IDF curves\, and how this data is being integrated into design guidelines and planning. \nAdditionally\, the Canadian Centre for Climate Services will briefly speak to new climate change-scaled IDF data that will soon be available on ClimateData.ca. \nRegister for this webinar on Microsoft Teams!

SUMMARY:Introducing the Cost of Doing Nothing Toolbox
DESCRIPTION:November 16\, 2022\n10:00am PST\, online via Zoom \nICLEI Canada is delighted to introduce a new resource to support municipal adaptation planning: the Cost of Doing Nothing (CODN) Toolbox. Join this webinar to learn how to use the CODN Toolbox to build a local business case for climate adaptation. \nThe mounting costs of climate change present a serious fiscal and logistical challenge for municipalities whose budgets and capacities are already stretched. Without immediate action\, these costs will only increase and threaten to consume funds and resources needed for maintaining and operating critical services and addressing existing and emerging priorities. \nThe CODN Toolbox provides a jumping off point for municipalities to assess the costs of doing nothing within their own local context and support their own climate adaptation planning process. \nRegister for this webinar on Zoom!
