LCR: Best Practices for Professionals
This report focuses on the key role professionals play as change agents in climate action, and illustrates best practices for planning and implementation of LCR.
Communities and businesses rely on professional planners, engineers, developers, lawyers, and other experts for guidance, design, development, implementation, operations, maintenance and replacement of all aspects of society’s systems. ACT worked to collaborate with professionals across sectors to advance awareness of LCR and identify practical applications at a variety of scales.
The case studies, tools and resources presented in this report were developed in consultation with professional representatives across Canada through meetings held in early spring and late fall of 2018. Representatives span a range of professions engaged in climate change adaptation and mitigation practice, including engineering, law, agriculture, energy and utilities, forestry, flood management, accounting, water & wastewater management, real estate, development, policy, planning, health, insurance, architecture, and biology.
