The Adaptation Bridge

Connecting climate adaptation and public education through governance and policy

The climate crisis is here. Rising temperatures and severe weather events are increasing in frequency and magnitude.

Public education is essential to effective community climate adaptation. Schools need to interconnect with local people and services.

The Adaptation Bridge is a path to that vision. It frames climate adaptation as an opportunity to connect K–12 public education with integrated services and supports.

The Adaptation Bridge is an evolving project that uses Ontario as a governance and policy process case to examine climate‑crisis impacts in K–12 education. Although grounded in one jurisdiction, it can support education systems everywhere as conditions evolve.
