While climate change is getting costlier to Canadians and our economy, it is also disrupting health and quality of life. The 2023 wildfire season alone broke records with nearly 18.5 million hectares of land burning resulting in mass evacuations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThis is a new reality and one municipalities need to prepare for now more than ever while simultaneously shifting towards a net-zero future to lessen these impacts and their tragic consequences,\u201d explains Megan Meaney, Executive Director at ICLEI Canada.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Investing in climate-resilience is a must, but it comes with challenges. For one, the impacts of the increasing frequency and severity of climate-related events are set against Canada\u2019s pre-existing infrastructure gap. In fact, the <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/fcm.ca\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Federation of Canadian Municipalities<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> estimates that adapting infrastructure just at the municipal level to avoid the worst impacts of climate change will require investment of $5.3 billion per year in Canada (that\u2019s right, per year!). However, despite the strong economic case for investing in climate adaptation, public funds are significantly limited. This challenge is particularly acute for municipalities which own and operate 60 percent of Canada\u2019s public infrastructure, have limited capacity and revenue sources to address climate impacts, and are facing a large price tag for infrastructure adaptation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhile efforts to mitigate climate change are underway and expanding \u2014 with governments and businesses setting net-zero targets and ramping up investment to reduce emissions \u2014 investment in climate adaptation is lagging woefully behind the projected costs, which are poised to worsen over time,\u201d explains Don Iveson, Executive Advisor of Climate Investing and Community Resilience at Co-operators. \u201cImportantly, even those mitigation investments are at risk if they are not themselves resilient to the changing conditions in the decades ahead. There can be no smooth transition to a net-zero future without enhancing resilience along the way.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is clear that resilience must be incorporated into municipal planning and growth, but this must be done in a way that is sustainable and financially viable. Put simply, we need new and innovative financing approaches to build resilience at the local level. Such approaches need to include mechanisms that can be used to acquire, structure, govern, and allocate financial resources towards resilient infrastructure. In addition, financial resources must come from a variety of sources including financial institutions, private investors, and institutional investors to support and complement traditional sources of public funding.<\/span><\/p><h2><b>Exploring innovative financing\u00a0<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over the course of 2023, ten Canadian municipalities worked in partnership with <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/icleicanada.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ICLEI Canada<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperators.ca\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Co-operators<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and Co-operator\u2019s asset management arm, <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/addendacapital.com\/en-ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Addenda Capital<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, on the <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/icleicanada.org\/project\/FRIP\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Financing Resilient Infrastructure Project (FRIP)<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to identify a suite of possible resilient infrastructure projects that private investors could help finance. A core component of FRIP was to connect municipal practitioners with financial experts from both the private and public sectors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOutputs from the rich dialogues that occurred through this FRIP will support municipalities as they consider innovative approaches involving private finance, as a complement to public funding, in the spirit of accelerating and scaling the mission-critical work of building communities that are resilient to climate change,\u201d explains Chad Park, Vice President of Sustainability & Citizenship at Co-operators.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The opportunity for project participants and financial experts to exchange insights on topics related to project feasibility and bankability (i.e., cash flows) and explore finance-related questions proved to be immensely valuable in identifying municipal resilient infrastructure projects that could be realized with the help of innovative financing. In addition, the following learnings emerged from this work.<\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">Getting all hands-on deck<\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thinking about innovative financing requires all hands-on deck. Bringing in colleagues from climate divisions, engineering, and finance early in the process is the most likely way to yield success. Each of these professions approach resilient infrastructure from a different perspective and bringing folks together early on when they can ideate and design projects together is a critical success factor.<\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">Considering direct and indirect benefits\u00a0<\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When thinking about resilient infrastructure, we must consider who benefits both directly and indirectly from that protection. When the benefits can be targeted, and many co-benefits can be integrated into project design, we create the most opportunities to identify cashflow sources that can either be recouped by municipalities and\/or directed back to private investors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">Building a collective language<\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We need to get onto the same page in the way we talk about funding. In investment terms, this is referred to as the taxonomy. We need to build collective language around risk, risk transfer, financing, private capital, and all such terms. If we want to make progress on innovative financing, we need to be speaking the same language.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">Integrating resilience thinking into all aspects of municipal service delivery\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In order for resilient infrastructure to become common place, there is a need to integrate resilience thinking into all aspects of municipal service delivery, from road maintenance and building design to capital planning.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 500;\">Approaching innovative financing with courage and openness<\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The common adage \u201chard things are hard\u201d seems appropriate here. While the work accomplished through FRIP was difficult at times, we also learned that it is doable. By bringing the right people together early in a process while also opening our collective minds to doing things differently, innovative financing for resilient infrastructure becomes achievable. It takes courage and it takes an openness to collective learning, but it can be done.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h2><b>Helping municipalities finance resilient infrastructure projects<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Through FRIP, municipal practitioners examined a range of possible projects that could be implemented in their communities and worked to identify possible financial instruments that could be used to finance their implementation. These projects, along with the tools that were used to identify and prepare them for financing, have been compiled into the Getting Ready to Finance Toolkit \u2014 a toolkit designed to help municipal practitioners prepare their own resilient infrastructure projects for financing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBuilding resilient infrastructure at the pace and scale needed to address the climate challenge requires innovation, agility, and new ways of thinking\u201d, explains Ewa Jackson, Managing Director at ICLEI Canada. \u201cIt is our hope that by sharing the work we accomplished and the tools we developed through FRIP, we will inspire others to explore innovative ways to finance and implement resilient infrastructure projects in communities across the country.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/icleicanada.org\/project\/getting-ready-to-finance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Getting Ready to Finance Toolkit<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> will be available Tuesday, March 5, 2024.
