As a precursor to the Intact Centre on Climate Adaptation (Intact Centre), the University of Waterloo and Intact Financial Corporation engaged in work (since 2010), and with the support of about 100 prominent stakeholders, to identify priority areas of climate change adaptation focus for Canada.
This work was led through the Climate Change Adaptation Project (Canada), which in 2012 released the report Climate Change Adaptation: A Priorities Plan for Canada.
