Climate Change & the Environment

Climate adaptation platforms

Here's what the 2024 Nova Scotia election parties are promising.
We don't have any PC policies on Climate adaptation.

Liberal

  • Proclaim the Coastal Protection Act and implement the required regulations across the province

    "A Nova Scotia Liberal government would respect the will of Nova Scotians, proclaim the Coastal Protection Act, and implement the required regulations across the province. We will work with municipalities to transition any existing coastal protection action plans to one unified set of rules for coastal protection across the province." — Better Deal for Nova Scotians, retrieved 2024-11-09

  • Create a fund to build emergency access and connector roads in areas deemed high-risk

    "A Nova Scotia Liberal government will create a fund to build emergency access and connector roads in areas deemed high-risk by municipalities, emergency management officials, and other experts. We will make funding available to any community that completes the FireSmart Neighbourhood Recognition Program so they can implement safety improvements that will protect lives and property in cases of wildfires." — Better Deal for Nova Scotians, retrieved 2024-11-09

  • Create a province-wide registry of vulnerable persons to help keep people safe during emergencies and provide proactive support

    "A Nova Scotia Liberal government will implement a province-wide vulnerable persons registry to ensure that at-risk Nova Scotians can stay safe during emergencies. This will also be a tool to help proactively provide support to Nova Scotians as we ensure that we are prepared for emergencies." — Better Deal for Nova Scotians, retrieved 2024-11-09

NDP

  • Pass and enforce the Coastal Protection Act

    "We will bring back the Coastal Protection Act, pass and enforce that Act to better protect our coastline from climate change and private development impacts." — Leadership You Can Believe In, retrieved 2024-11-16
