Climate Change Adaptation & Mitigation

Recent extreme weather events have demonstrated that our climate is changing. At Associated, we believe we have a responsibility to consider climate change on our projects. Our experience includes climate modelling, climate projections, interpreting existing climate models, designing sustainable buildings and other infrastructure, conducting climate change vulnerability assessments, and planning and designing infrastructure to adapt to our changing climate.  

We provide sound advice to clients based on proven methods, drawing upon our understanding of the climate change process and the associated risks to infrastructure and the environment. We communicate risks and help identify adaptation measures to reduce climate risks as well as options to decrease greenhouse gas emissions

Infrastructure Canada has recently published Climate Lens, a new set of requirements for large Infrastructure Canada-funded projects. These requirements call for greenhouse gas mitigation and climate change resiliency assessments. Our Climate Change Advisors and Experts can assist clients with completing climate mitigation and resiliency assessments in support of their application for financial support.

    Senior Ecologist, Restoration and Reclamation Lead

    • We live in a finite world. The challenge is to have an ecologically functioning world- with us in it. To find a balance between development and nature, expertise in planning before and reclaiming after development are essential.
    • I love to dance, and have danced Bharatanatyam [classical Indian dance] for the last 15 years, in Vernon, Calgary, Vancouver and India.  I also love being a mom, riding horses, and hiking, canoeing, skiing or biking in the big, beautiful world.
