Climate Data Training Session for Engineers, Planners and Decision Makers 

The potential impacts of climate change, in the decades ahead, are as far-reaching as they are unpredictable, touching upon everything from ecosystems to urban infrastructure to insurance costs. Businesses, municipalities, provincial and federal agencies — anyone in the business of planning for the future needs to factor climate change into their considerations. And that’s where the Ontario Climate Consortium comes in.Established in 2011, the OCC works collaboratively with university researchers and partners from the public, private and NGO sectors on projects aimed at answering specific questions related to climate change and creating the intelligence necessary to address climate risk. Our formal mission: To arm decision makers with “regionally-specific climate data, intelligence and adaptation services that enable effective policy and investment responses to climate uncertainty in Ontario.”

The <A HREF="http://climateconnections.ca/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Ontario Climate Consortium</A> is excited to announce our upcoming Climate Data Training Session for Engineers, Planners and Decision Makers! Come and learn from fellow engineers, planners and academic experts on how to use climate data to address climate change.
If you’re interested in scoping climate change into a project, incorporating it into your work or have wondered if you may be responsible for addressing it down the road – this event is for you! OCC’s Climate Data Training Session will provide a great opportunity for peer-to-peer learning, and to hear and discuss tangible examples of climate change planning and engineering studies.
In the morning, you will hear from Kathleen O’Neill from the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change who will provide a view of Ontario’s critical and evolving climate policy context, followed by a presentation by McMaster University Centre for Climate Change and Risk Sciences International (RSI) on what climate data is, past and future trends, and how to interpret it. The afternoon will feature two streams of presentations for specific audiences: an Engineering Stream (Chair: David Lapp, Engineers Canada) and a Planning Stream (Chair: Dr. Laura Taylor, York University). Come and learn from Ontario municipalities, Conservation Authorities, Ontario’s Ministries, Academics, Toronto Hydro and many more! 
This event is funded by the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MOECC). Registration is free, but spots are limited so be sure to sign up today. Please select one stream (engineering or planning) on checkout.
