Introducing the Project
The climate is becoming increasingly unpredictable and scientific models are predicting a lot more change by 2050. We are looking to understand how these changes will impact you.
Changes in our climate lead to different types of hazards such as flooding, extreme heat, drought, wildfires and severe storms. These can cause harm to people, property, infrastructure and the natural environment.
Climate adaptation involves preparing for and responding to climate hazards. It focuses on making our homes, farms, communities, infrastructure, and natural areas more resilient so we can reduce risks and recover quickly. Examples include upgrading infrastructure to manage heavy rainfall, FireSmarting around communities, or community hall upgrades to improve cooling systems during heatwaves.
What are you seeing? What solutions exist to help cope?
Scientific models are predicting a lot of changes to our climate by 2050. The hazards associated with these changes have also been predicted.
To better understand local risks and protect our quality of life from climate change hazards, Parkland County is creating a Climate Adaptation Plan.
What is a Climate Adaptation Plan and why does it matter?
The Plan will:
Document what is happening - Identify the impacts of extreme weather and changes in nature based on community input andscientific data
Identify out biggest risks - Assess current and future risks to Parkland communities
Identify practical actions - Recommend actions and partnerships to minimize risks and build resilience
Survey – Available from September 4 – November 20, 2026. Complete the online survey on this page when available.
You will be able to pick up a paper copy at the Parkland County administration building (53109A Hwy 779, Parkland County, T7Z 1R1).
