| 119801 | 59572 | District of Saanich, BC | Canada | North America | 2. Climate Hazards and Vulnerability | 2.1 | Please 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. | 12 | Please describe the impacts experienced so far, and how you expect the hazard to impact in the future | 8 | Currently 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 Vulnerability | 2.2 | Please 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. | 4 | Please describe how the factor supports or challenges the adaptive capacity of your city | 6 | In 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. | |||
| 119835 | 59572 | District of Saanich, BC | Canada | North America | 2. Climate Hazards and Vulnerability | 2.2 | Please 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. | 4 | Please describe how the factor supports or challenges the adaptive capacity of your city | 7 | There is strong and ongoing support for effective and urgent climate action at the staff and elected leadership levels in our District. | |||
| 119836 | 59572 | District of Saanich, BC | Canada | North America | 2. Climate Hazards and Vulnerability | 2.2 | Please 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. | 4 | Please describe how the factor supports or challenges the adaptive capacity of your city | 8 | The 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. | |||
