On March 16th, 2022, join Dr. Roy Brouwer (Professor, Department of Economics at the University of Waterloo) as he tackles the question: “What is Canada’s water worth?”. This presentation is the first in a series of monthly webinars taking place throughout 2022.
CBC News — What the new IPCC report says climate change could — and is — costing Canadians
CBC News discusses climate change impacts across four important categories including: wildfires, cities/floods, food production and indigenous health.
The C1W team needs a diverse set of partners to help us quantify second order impacts to food production systems, indigenous health, forest health/wildfires and the housing market. If you are interested in collaborating with the C1W team to answer these questions don’t hesitate to contact us (info@aquanty.com)!
