Groupe de développement durable du Pays de Cocagne partnered with the New Brunswick Environmental Network to create a video on importance of natural infrastructure for climate change adaptation (The video is available in French only. English Video to come soon!).
The report Planning the Blue Zone has been written to provide recommendations to the Southeast Service Regional Commission (SERSC) on how freshwater ecosystem services can be integrated into regional land-use planning. The report will provide a platform for the SERSC to discuss and evaluate how to best incorporate natural assets that relate to climate change adaptation in land use planning in southeastern New Brunswick.
The report prepared by Nature NB under the Maritime Natural Infrastructure Collaborative, presents various methodologies for incorporating ecosystem services into planning and decision-making. The toolkit is beneficial for local governments, planners and NGOs.
The report prepared by Kate Slorach, Nature NB covers some solutions and suggestions to manage privately-owned lands at a local/municipal scale to preserve natural assets that benefit a community.
The guide has been prepared by Nature NB under the Maritime Natural Infrastructure Collaborative and supported by Environment and Climate Change Canada and the New Brunswick Environmental Trust Fund. The first section of the guide gives a brief of the history of ecosystem services and their relation to climate change adaptation. The second section focuses on how to communicate ecosystem services concept to general audiences. The last section provides examples on how ecosystem services can be integrated into educational planning.
The Ecosystem Services Toolkit is a guide offering step-by-step guidance for ecosystem services assessment and analysis. It is an interdisciplinary toolkit for managers and analysts prepared under Value of Nature to Canadians Study Taskforce by Federal, Provincial and Territorial Governments of Canada.
The report was prepared to assist governments, practitioners and investors with land-use planning and infrastructure investment decisions. The report includes a framework for natural infrastructure project implementation.
The storm water map, developed by the Atlantic Stormwater Initiative shows locations of Low Impact Development projects across Atlantic Canada.
The toolkit consists of a user guide and spreadsheet calculator can be used for valuing the monetary and non-monetary benefits of green infrastructure.
This calculator, developed by CNT is a tool for comparing the performance, costs and benefits of Green Infrastructure or Low Impact Development for storm water management. The tool was developed based on hydrology of the Great Lakes region; results could be different for other regions.
