Municipal Adaptation Plans
About Adaptation Planning in Tantramar, Strait Shores & Memramcook
Due to its low-lying coastal location, the Chignecto region is highly vulnerable to climate change impacts. The region is being impacted by hurricanes and coastal storm surges, faster erosion rates, fresh water floods, wind storms, unprecedented summer temperatures, and longer drought periods. These impacts affect the economy, infrastructure, livelihoods, safety, and human health. Adaptation planning is critical for municipalities and residents to understand what to prioritize in climate change adaptation initiatives.
EOS has created Climate Change Adaptation Plans for several municipalities in the region. In the 2023 Local Governance Reform, several NB municipalities were amalgamated, forming new municipal entities such as Tantramar and Strait Shores. EOS is working to create new plans that reflect new municipal boundaries and updated priorities.
