Blair Feltmate on Adapting to our Changed Climate

Sustainability

By: Blair Feltmate

Climate change is one of the most vexing challenges facing our world. That the climate is changing is increasingly clear.  But greenhouse gases are still spewing into the atmosphere.  Temperature thresholds are being passed years earlier than predicted. So, what, if anything, can we do about it?  

My guest this episode has dedicated his life to sustainability but for Dr. Blair Feltmate, Head, Intact Centre on Climate Adaptation, University of Waterloo, the focus is on adaptation and resilience to climate impacts. 

Blair talks about why focusing on adapting to climate change needs to be a bigger priority for individuals and governments. He shares practical steps that would help put Canada and Canadians on a path that is better prepared for the climate impacts that are sure to come.
