Report: Councillor Amy Lubik, dated January 7, 2020

Amy Lubik regarding Funding and Supports for Natural Solutions for Climate-related Adaption and Mitigation:

  WHEREAS Climate change already impacts both grey and green infrastructure in Canadian communities and the cost associated with repair and adaptation is escalating;

  AND WHEREAS downloading of funding responsibility onto local governments continues to rise despite having limited abilities to raise new capital other than regressive taxes, such as property tax, impacting the ability of municipalities to address critical issues;

  AND WHEREAS the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) and the Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC) recently released preliminary findings that estimate the total cost of adapting municipal infrastructure for the impacts of climate change to be $5.3 billion annually;

  AND WHEREAS evidence from Canada and the U.S. demonstrates that investment in disaster mitigation and adaptation saves money in the long-term on a scale of 1:6, where for every $1 invested in adaptation, there is an estimated $6 in avoided future costs;

  AND WHEREAS natural climate solutions are key to advancing both greenhouse gas mitigation and climate change adaptation and local governments are critical to the effective implementation of these solutions;

  THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Canadian Government implement funding and programs supporting natural solutions for climate change, including but not limited to the conservation and restoration of urban forests, wetlands, coastal areas, agricultural lands, in partnership with local and regional governments, including Indigenous governments where welcome;

  AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT any natural climate solution programs be transfer based, not grant-dependent, to maintain flexibility in order to meet the needs of all Canadian local governments experiencing a wide range of climate change impacts and adopting a wide range of climate solutions that are appropriate to their unique situation and population;
