At work I help build climate, adaptation, and risk analysis training courses and professional development programs. Otherwise most of my time goes to kids and cooking tbh. But skiing too when I can.

As someone who (i) bought most affordable EV I could only when it was needed, (ii) doesn't drive much, (iii) lives in northern Ontario... can confirm I'm worse off now.
Also, feel pretty frickin' annoyed going past the pumps.

When I hear people (and Planners) say they need more certainty in climate projections before making decisions, this exactly is what always comes to mind! We're pretty certain about climate projections by comparison!

Definitely was not being literal. There's multiple pathways to improved climate resilience for buildings, which have a range costs and benefits and different points in the lifecycle.

Hi! We've been doing a lot of this work in Canada, for many years, including for coastal highways and even for northern roads affected by permafrost. pievc.ca/wp-content/u...

There's a tool we use - developed in Canada - to do this type of climate risk assessment for infrastructure, including roads and highways. In fact, lots of case studies to look at how it's been done over decades, including in B.C. pievc.ca

That's correct. Fortunately, it's taught by a Professor of Law who also happens to be an engineer.

New courses to be launched next year include a course on risk and adaptation for buildings designers and experts (Led by @rtmlepage.bsky.social), and a course for Forestry Practitioners.

However, we also do a lot of customized capacity development and training for cities, other public agencies and departments throughout Canada, and internationally.

We have courses in climate risk, PIEVC protocol (and infrastructure cliamte risk assessment tool), applied climate science, asset management for climate resilience and more. Our audiences include engineers, architects, planners, and range of other adaptation practitioners.

We manage two overlapping credentials, one of which is the 'Infrastructure Resilience Professional' credential. Much of the training is delivered as professional development (check out our courses at Royal Roads University - pcs.royalroads.ca/climate-risk...)
