What we are doing

Canada need easy access to trustworthy data and climate information. Climate Insight is a
free online platform designed to meet this need. It provides a centralized source for
communities to find the tools and data they need to advance low-carbon, resilient housing
and infrastructure initiatives in their communities.

What we are achieving
Climate Insight helps users through three main entry points:
• Solutions Finder – a series of questions leading users to receive recommendations
for building climate forward infrastructure in their communities.
• Library – filters for climate consideration, risk/hazard, and infrastructure asset type
help users identify resources, tools, case studies, and other materials related to
their climate and infrastructure needs.
• Map – layers of climate, socio-economic, and infrastructure data help users visualize
geospatial data related to their local climate and infrastructure.
Climate Insight is part of the Climate Toolkit for Housing and Infrastructure—a suite of free
