The aim of this Thematic Network is to explore how communities confront climate change, including assessment of governance around climate adaptation or processes dealing with it, and how they seek to adapt to emerging challenges arising from increases in temperature and more extreme weather events.
Activities through the TN facilitate understanding of local expertise and highlight, in particular, the value a community planning perspective brings to discourse and action on climate resilience. One of the distinctive aspects of this TN is that it works within and across scales from larger urban centres to small communities, including attention to Indigenous forms of community planning for climate resilience.
