On May 21, 2021, ICLR conducted a Friday Forum webinar titled 'Climate Disclosure, Litigation and Finance'"Climate Disclosure, Litigation and Finance' is a forthcoming chapter in 'Canada in a Changing Climate: National Issues'. In this webinar, chapter authors Paul Kovacs, Gordon McBean, Gordon Beal, Maryam Golnaraghi, Pat Koval and Bohan Li examined the evolving climate risks for businesses and governments.
Climate change is now widely regarded as an environmental and an economic issue. While the policy discussion about climate change emphasizes the urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to better cope with the impact of extreme events, the business community is increasingly focused on the physical and transition risks and opportunities presented by climate change. The research team will discuss how managing the risks and opportunities associated with climate change affect a company’s ability to access capital, deliver products and services, hire and retain employees and achieve positive financial performance.
Paul Kovacs is the Executive Director of the Institute for Catastrophic Loss Reduction.

6th International Disaster and Risk Conference IDRC 2016 Integrative Risk Management - Towards Resilient Cities. 28 August - 01 September 2016 in Davos, Switzerland
On July 16, 2021 ICLR conducted a Friday Forum webinar titled 'Edmonton's approach to stormwater flood management', led by Susan Ancel, Director of One Water Planning for EPCOR Water Services in Edmonton, Alberta. EPCOR has developed a $1.6 billion Stormwater Integrated Resource Plan (SIRP) to mitigate the impacts of flooding in the community. SIRP envisions all stakeholders – citizens, businesses, industry, the City of Edmonton and EPCOR working together to build a flood-resilient future. The goal is to Slow, Move, Secure, Predict and Respond to flooding events to prevent or reduce the impact. EPCOR’s planned flood mitigations projects will take 20 years to complete. The types of projects that are included in SIRP include dry ponds, low impact development, tunnels, combined sewer separation, outfall control gates, inflow/infiltration reduction, building flood proofing, increased sensors and automatic controls and emergency response equipment. The plan was developed through consultation with Climate Change Adaptation, Insurance and Financial sector groups across North America.
Susan Ancel is the Director of One Water Planning for EPCOR Water Services in Edmonton, Alberta. In her prior role, she was Director of Stormwater Strategies, where she was responsible for developing an Integrated Resource Plan for flood mitigation that considered capital and operational risk mitigation planning, as well as the interrelationships between utilities, insurance, disaster response agencies and the public. Prior to her Stormwater Strategies role she was the Director of Water Distribution and Transmission for EPCOR. Susan is a Mechanical engineer with over 30 years’ experience with the municipal utility sector. She has also served on numerous industry committees including the Board of Directors for the Geospatial Information Technology Association (GITA) from 2001 to 2007 and was President of GITA in 2006. She currently serves on the Board of Directors for Canadian Water Network.
Study: The Potential Environmental Impacts of Fracking in the Delaware River ...Marcellus Drilling News
A $320,444 "study" bought and paid for by Big Green groups (the William Penn Foundation and Delaware Riverkeeper) that reportedly shows the impacts (i.e. harms) that would occur if shale drilling were allowed in Wayne and Pike counties in Pennsylvania. Currently those counties cannot drill for shale energy because they are part of the Delaware River Basin Commission's jurisdiction and the DRBC does not allow drilling. This study, using Big Green money, is meant to keep it that way--no drilling ever in those counties, denying landowners their Constitutional rights. It is a sham study with a pre-determined outcome authored by CNA, a non-profit organization that sells itself to the highest bidder.

The report, titled "Assessment of risks from unconventional gas well development in the Marcellus Shale of Western Maryland," is part of Maryland's ongoing effort to evaluate and perhaps eventually allow shale drilling in the state. This report looks at each stage of the fracking and drillng process and assigns it a risk factor. The only parts of the drilling picture to receive a "high" rank of likely problems all deal with truck traffic. Water contamination, air issues, etc. all received moderate, low, or non-existent ratings for problems.

The Resilience Imperative
“The abiding strategy of our parents’ generation was
‘containment’ of communism in order to be free. The
abiding strategy of our generation has to be ‘resilience.’
We will only be free to live the lives we want if we
make our cities, country and planet more resilient.”

Community Resilience and Critical Infrastructure
Resilience are National Security Imperatives
“The term resilience refers to the ability to prepare for
and adapt to changing conditions and withstand and
recover rapidly from disruptions. Resilience includes
the ability to withstand and recover from deliberate
attacks, accidents, or naturally occurring threats or
incidents.*

Putting Resilience in Practice
Resilience measures need to be incorporated into managing the risk of
infrastructure disruption:
Prior to a disaster
During a disaster
Following a disaster
26. Center for Resilience Studies
PRE-DISASTER
• Develop models and conduct simulations to:
Raise awareness and understanding of the potential for infrastructure disruption
and its consequences
Support “what-if” decisions including cost-benefit analysis associated with investing
in resilience design
Inform contingency planning and conducting exercises.
• Prioritize and identify resilience attributes that should be deployed to safeguard and
rapidly recover the elemental capacity and the essential function of infrastructure in the
face of naturally-occurring and human-made disasters.
• Devise policy and market-based incentives for making and sustaining investments in the
attributes of resilience design.
• Deploy tools and processes that provide situational awareness for early detection and to
guide nimble response and recovery when there are disruptions to the elemental
capacity and function of infrastructure.
27. Center for Resilience Studies
DURING A DISASTER
Resourcefulness involves undertaking appropriate decisions and operational
measures that mitigate consequences and support rapid recovery. Examples
are:
The timely movement of trains to sheltered areas at high elevations
to reduce the risk of damage via storm surge.
Authorizing overtime and providing temporary housing and canteen
services that will allow workers to be available to support response
and recover efforts.
Mobilizing collaborative networks that support informed and flexible
decision-making for addressing cascading disruptions across multiple
infrastructure sectors.
28. Center for Resilience Studies
FOLLOWING A DISASTER
GOAL: To direct limited resources so as to support response,
recovery, and adaptation.
Prioritize actions that restore elemental capacity and essential
function of infrastructure that has been disrupted by the event.
Undertake actions that restore full/normal function.
Learn from the event to inform how to: (1) improve the design
and deployment of resilience attributes, and (2) refine the
operational measures used to support response and recover.

CONCLUSIONS
Resilience requires greater emphasis on and investment in forecasting, modeling,
monitoring, and assessment capabilities that can support mitigation, speed response
and recovery, and inform adaptation in the aftermath of disruptive incidents.
Large-scale disasters impact regional systems and therefore require an enhanced
capacity for undertaking preparedness, response, and recovery at a regional level.
Resilience requires a deeper understanding of interdependencies and the cascading
effects that a major disruption can generate.
Companies and communities need to “bake-in” resilience into their critical systems
and functions.
Local, regional, and national competitiveness will increasingly be defined by the level
of resilience that communities and countries have to withstand, nimbly respond, and
rapidly recover from shocks and disruptive events. People will chose to invest in
companies and live in areas that possess resilience and gravitate away from those that
do not.
