Canada’s North is being disproportionately affected by climate change. The region is warming significantly faster than the rest of the country, which impacts its ecosystems, infrastructure, and the economy. Approaches that combine climate risk considerations with asset management can help strengthen northern communities and support effective climate adaptation measures that boost the resilience of their infrastructure.

The technical specification CSA TS-506:25, A climate risks-informed approach to asset management in Northern regions, provides guidance on how to integrate climate risks into asset management practices and helps organizations ensure that their built and natural infrastructure assets in northern regions are better prepared to withstand the impacts of extreme weather events and incremental climate changes to deliver optimal services across their full lifecycle.
