I'll give a specific example that I have witnessed in Quebec, because we are mostly funded by the Quebec government. We work a lot with the Quebec municipalities and the Quebec government.
In 2017 and 2019, there were two major floods. Quebec was pretty much struck by those events, and we said that we needed to do something. Everyone was brought together in order to think about how we should modify existing regulations in order to integrate climate change into flood maps.
Just last June, the Quebec environment minister announced a new regulation that was, I'll say, co-constructed—maybe that's a bit pushed—with the municipal world to have a new regulation. We have developed it with the Quebec government, using the latest scientific data. We provided the data to produce new maps that include climate change, and the regulation was modified in order to introduce those new maps, with a new regulation saying that every 10 years those maps should be relooked at, because we are in a changing climate.
This is an example of where science, the technical aspects, the actors and the policies were brought together in order to learn the lessons of the floods of 2017 and 2019 and in order to adapt to climate change.
For my organization, this is our weekly work, but that's the type of collaborative work that we need. That's the type of connection from science to on-the-ground issues that we need to do more of.
