Low Carbon Resilience: Transformative Climate Change Planning for Canada
Low carbon resilience (LCR) refers to climate change strategies that integrate
and achieve co-benefits between greenhouse gas emissions reduction (mitigation)
and planning designed to reduce vulnerability to climate change impacts
(adaptation). To date, most strategies focus on one or the other of these two
goals. This paper demonstrates the potential value of their integration, explores
examples of low carbon resilience strategies, and considers options for their
implementation in Canada.
