Key to adapting to climate change is intergovernmental co-operation. One of the things we are pleased to see, and one of the things we recommended as part of the national adaptation strategy, is that it's all orders of government working together, playing their respective roles. No order of government can do it alone. We've certainly clearly heard concrete examples this morning of how municipalities can't do it alone. There's a role for provinces. There's a role for the federal government.
We hear regularly from municipalities the kinds of stories we've heard this morning around the lack of local fiscal capacity to invest in infrastructure. We certainly have been making recommendations to the federal government through the national adaptation strategy and other forums.
Through our role with the green municipal fund.... I mentioned program funding that we were awarded in the national adaptation strategy. It's $530 million. Beginning this year, we'll have an eight-year program that will support 1,400 local projects. Key to that is supporting smaller communities to do the local studies and plans to understand where they're most vulnerable—to understand where particular, more marginalized segments of their community are more vulnerable to climate change—to then be able to know exactly where investments are needed.
