About this event

The Community Solutions Network is a program of Future Cities Canada, and is designed to help communities build service area capacity and improve the lives of residents using data and connected technology approaches. ICLEI Canada along with Evergreen and the Community Solutions Network are partnering to deliver a series of innovation workshops on the relationship between data, technology and climate resilience.

This workshop will provide an opportunity for municipalities, Indigenous communities, municipal networks, academics, and subject-matter experts from across British Columbia to connect, share, and ask questions around approaches to measuring progress on climate adaptation and resilience.

Through a presentation and a hands-on activity, together we will explore questions such as:

  • What are examples of performance metrics that can be used to measure your communities progress on adaptation and resilience?
  • How might you evaluate an indicator? And what qualifies as a ‘good’ indicator?
  • What are possible issues related to data (e.g. requirements, limitations, availability) that might affect your ability to measure progress?

A more rigorous approach to evaluate our progress on adaptation is needed so that we can support informed decision-making, course correct for continuous improvement, and ultimately enhance our collective climate resilience. Be a part of the conversation and register today!
