Building Adaptation Skills for a Changing Climate Webinar Series!

The Building Regional Adaptation Capacity and Expertise (BRACE) Program, led by Natural Resources Canada (NRCan), is launching a fall webinars series focused on sharing experiences on how to build climate change adaptation skills. The webinar series will feature the results of over 20 co-funded projects:

• Building Adaptation Skills for Engineers – September 15, 1 - 2 pm ET
• Building Adaptation Skills for Planners – October 3, 1 -2 pm ET
• Building Adaptation Skills and Qualifications: Key Considerations for Upskilling the Workforce of Tomorrow – October 11, 1 - 2 pm ET

• Building Adaptation Skills in Economic Sectors – Late November
• Building Adaptation Skills for Young Professionals – December 7, 1 - 2 pm E
• Building Adaptation Skills for Indigenous Communities – Early 2023 

The key objectives of the webinar series are to:

1) present training, tools and resources for integrating climate change adaptation considerations in professional practice; and

2) highlight key messages/learning that are transferable to other organizations/sectors/regions interested in building adaptation skills and delivering training.

Presenters will share information on activities, such as courses, workshops, networks and internships, which helped engineers, planners, resource managers, recent graduates and others develop the competencies (knowledge, skills and behaviour) needed to act on adaptation.
