The Canadian Construction Association and Canada Climate Law Initiative have released Building resilience: A guide to climate governance for Canada’s construction sector, offering practical tools to integrate climate resilience into construction governance.
It provides legal context, risk assessment frameworks, and actionable steps for companies of all sizes to align with Canada’s low-carbon transition while building stronger, climate-ready communities.
With construction linked to nearly 30% of Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions, the sector has a significant role in addressing climate change and adapting to risks like heatwaves, flooding, and wildfires.
The guide’s key messages stress: Directors and executives must factor climate risks and opportunities into decisions; Climate action enhances resilience and competitiveness; and Sector-wide coordination is essential.
