| Summary | (Plain Language Summary, not published)
This case study describes how Charlottetown, P.E.I has been an innovator in Canada in planning how to adapt to climate change as it is vulnerable to
coastal flooding from storm surges and sea level rise. The community has implemented, based on the best available science, simple first measures (such as raising the minimum ground floor elevation and creating development agreements) to increase
resilience to these threats. In the future, as new science and adaptation tools become available and greater public awareness is raised, adaptation measures can be adjusted or new ones implemented. |
