Climate adaptation platforms

Here's what the 2025 Canadian election parties are promising.

Liberal

  • Provide funding for low- and middle-income households, including renters, to adopt heat pumps and energy efficiency upgrades

    "Funding home retrofits and lowering utility bills while making it easier for low- and middle-income households, including renters, to adopt heat pumps and energy efficiency upgrades including insulation upgrades, heat pump installation, and window replacements;" — liberal.ca, retrieved 2025-04-14

  • Provide funding to help households protect against floods, wildfires, and other extreme weather events with home repairs and improvements

    "Lowering household risks to floods and wildfires, directly helping Canadian families to protect against floods, wildfires, and other extreme weather events. This will help with funding oriented towards adaptation measures such as repairing or replacing your roof, installing a sump pump, or sealing cracks in your foundations;" — liberal.ca, retrieved 2025-04-14

  • Have big polluters pay for household improvements, using a reformed carbon credit market

    "A Mark Carney government will use a reformed carbon credit market to finance these climate conscious choices, meaning that big polluters, not taxpayers, will pay." — liberal.ca, retrieved 2025-04-14

We don't have any Conservative policies on Climate adaptation.

Bloc

  • Exiger des réinvestissements immédiats et structurants dans le Fonds d’atténuation et d’adaptation en matière de catastrophes
  • Protéger les maisons des Québécois face aux catastrophes naturelles récurrentes en exigeant du fédéral un programme de réassurance

  • Establish a national wildfire fighting force

    "We will establish a national wildfire fighting force that can be deployed across the country to protect communities on the frontlines of climate disasters." — ndp.ca, retrieved 2025-04-19

  • Scale up long-term funding for climate resilient infrastructure

    "Research from the Canadian Climate Institute shows that every dollar invested in adaptation can save up to $15 in future disaster costs—so we’ll scale up long-term funding for infrastructure that keeps people safe." — ndp.ca, retrieved 2025-04-19

  • Include disaster resilience in the building code, and keep new buildings out of high-risk areas
