Collaboration on Natural Infrastructure

and Resilience (2021-2022)

 

Due to its low-lying coastal location, the Memramcook-Tantramar region is one of the most vulnerable areas to climate change in New Brunswick. The region is impacted by coastal & inland floods, storms, droughts, erosion, etc. which impact economy, infrastructure, livelihoods, safety, human health. Thus, local communities have adaptation plans (funded by the Environmental Trust Fund). Common priorities include flood risk reduction, using natural infrastructure to adapt to climate impacts, and public education.

EOS Eco-Energy obtained funding from the NB ETF to focus on enhancing awareness and action on natural infrastructure to adapt to climate change in the Tantramar region.

The project had a positive impact on communities in the Memramcook-Tantramar region and helped to advance adaptation and enhance resiliency.
