11980159572District of Saanich, BCCanadaNorth America2. Climate Hazards and Vulnerability2.1Please list the most significant climate hazards faced by your city and indicate the probability and consequence of these hazards, as well as the expected future change in frequency and intensity. Please also select the most relevant assets or services that are affected by the climate hazard and provide a description of the impact.12Please describe the impacts experienced so far, and how you expect the hazard to impact in the future8Currently we have some experience with property damage (flooding in basements), interruptions to transportation, sewage backup causing beach closures, erosion of banks affecting parks, streams, and transportation corridors e.g. the Lochside Trail multi-use path temporary closure. By 2050, from Saanich's Risk Assessment Report, we expect: More frequent and intense rainfall events causing saturated soils, with impacts on natural biofiltering and storage capacity (including water quality and flooding risks) [medium-high risk]More frequent and intense rainfall events causing streams to be inundated, increasing erosion, sediment loads, and contaminants in water courses due to volume of storm water runoff [medium risk]Increased flooding in spring and drought in summer causing shifts in viable crops [medium risk]Increased extreme weather events causing disruption and delays in transportation network (e.g. storms, smoke, heavy rainfall delaying flights, ferries, etc.) [medium risk]Increased extreme weather events causing impacts to natural ecosystems and biodiversity, compromising capacity of green infrastructure and ecosystem services [medium risk]Increased extreme weather events (heat waves, air quality advisories, heavy rainfall, storms) affecting active transportation [medium risk]

Climate Hazards and Vulnerability2.1Please list the most significant climate hazards faced by your city and indicate the probability and consequence of these hazards, as well as the expected future change in frequency and intensity. Please also select the most relevant assets or services that are affected by the climate hazard and provide a description of the impact.12Please describe the impacts experienced so far, and how you expect the hazard to impact in the future9River and SLR interaction are not currently experienced to a significant degree and were not analysed in the Regional Coastal Flood Inundation Project. More research would be required.
11980359572District of Saanich, BCCanadaNorth America2. Climate Hazards and Vulnerability2.1Please list the most significant climate hazards faced by your city and indicate the probability and consequence of these hazards, as well as the expected future change in frequency and intensity. Please also select the most relevant assets or services that are affected by the climate hazard and provide a description of the impact.12Please describe the impacts experienced so far, and how you expect the hazard to impact in the future10Currently, very infrequent temporary inundation of roads and parks immediately adjacent to the ocean can occur under certain conditions. By 2050, from Saanich's Risk Assessment Report, we expect: Rising sea levels causing habitats to shift landward with risk of loss due to coastal squeeze, increased wave action, erosion, soil salinization and other stressors [high risk]Coastal inundation and overland flooding reducing the availability and use of low-lying land areas [medium risk]Rising sea level increasing the impacts of tsunami inundation zones and risks to more properties in Saanich [medium risk]Sea level rise and storm surges causing flooding and damage to coastal infrastructure (e.g. drainage, transportation, buildings) [medium risk]

Please also select the most relevant assets or services that are affected by the climate hazard and provide a description of the impact.12Please describe the impacts experienced so far, and how you expect the hazard to impact in the future11The driver behind the other identified hazards is an increase in atmospheric CO2e levels.

Climate Hazards and Vulnerability2.2Please identify and describe the factors that most greatly affect your city’s ability to adapt to climate change and indicate how those factors either support or challenge this ability.4Please describe how the factor supports or challenges the adaptive capacity of your city1Housing costs have risen significantly and are resulting in housing affordability issues and a struggle to attract certain employees or trades people. This can result in difficulty achieving development that addresses climate adaptation measures if there are additional cost, particularly if their requirement is not legislated and there is also a desire for the development to address climate mitigation. Housing affordability also impacts the ability of homeowners/building owners to upgrade and retrofit for climate adaptation. Homeowners experiencing energy poverty and the District's homeless population are also more vulnerable to extreme weather events such as heat waves.

Climate Hazards and Vulnerability2.2Please identify and describe the factors that most greatly affect your city’s ability to adapt to climate change and indicate how those factors either support or challenge this ability.4Please describe how the factor supports or challenges the adaptive capacity of your city2Those most impacted by climate change are often those less likely to be engaged or have time to be involved in planning for adaptation. Also, may be less likely to have the resources to increase their resiliency to climate change.

Climate Hazards and Vulnerability2.2Please identify and describe the factors that most greatly affect your city’s ability to adapt to climate change and indicate how those factors either support or challenge this ability.4Please describe how the factor supports or challenges the adaptive capacity of your city3Corporately, we have considerable aging infrastructure - this is both a challenge and an opportunity. Through the need to upgrade our infrastructure we can address adaptation in core infrastructure budgets and spending. However, it also means that there are considerable resources required to address our upgrade needs as a municipality, which means any additional capital costs associated with adaptation may limit our ability to complete as many projects as we wish in a certain timeframe.

Climate Hazards and Vulnerability2.2Please identify and describe the factors that most greatly affect your city’s ability to adapt to climate change and indicate how those factors either support or challenge this ability.4Please describe how the factor supports or challenges the adaptive capacity of your city5While the District recognizes the value of investing in climate adaptation measures, competing priorities, ageing facilities and infrastructure and a desire to limit property tax increases, mean that budgets do not always cover climate adaptation work.

Climate Hazards and Vulnerability2.2Please identify and describe the factors that most greatly affect your city’s ability to adapt to climate change and indicate how those factors either support or challenge this ability.4Please describe how the factor supports or challenges the adaptive capacity of your city6In the absence of current major climate change impacts on our community, community engagement is critical in raising awareness of our vulnerability and risk to future climate and sea level rise projections. Public understanding and support is crucial to achieving funding support for projects at the municipality and for individuals and businesses to act on climate adaptation.

Climate Hazards and Vulnerability2.2Please identify and describe the factors that most greatly affect your city’s ability to adapt to climate change and indicate how those factors either support or challenge this ability.4Please describe how the factor supports or challenges the adaptive capacity of your city8The high % of renewable energy generated by our provincial electricity utility (and financial benefits from economies of scale) means there are limited grants (provincial and federal) for localized renewable electricity generation. Localized renewable energy generation and storage can be a valuable adaptation strategy, particularly as it relates to emergency shelter and services facilities. The lack of grants/funding can limit the ability for projects to proceed.
