Human-induced climate change is putting people, ecosystems, and the economy at risk. The International Panel of Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) has identified human-induced warming of urban areas is leading to heavy precipitation and flood risks. In the Greater Toronto Area, businesses will need to assess upstream and downstream impacts related to their operations to mitigate the impacts of extreme heat and flooding on their property.
The Corporate Flood and Heat Risk Management program engages the Industrial, Commercial and Institutional (ICI)/Multi-Unit Residential Buildings (MURB) sectors to understand and foster uptake of best practices and new technologies related to stormwater management, flood resilience, and heat risk adaptation. This Resource Hub provides business managers, sustainability consultants, and facility managers with knowledge to improve their property’s adaptation to a changing climate.
