Canada’s Housing and Climate Change Ecosystem (2022)

Canada’s Housing and Climate Change Ecosystem Map (2022) provides an assessment of the activities and connections between key stakeholders in the ecosystem.

Climate change impacts are threatening the health and safety of Canadians and will challenge housing affordability and the stability of the housing system, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation’s Corporate Plan.The building sector accounts for 12% of Canada’s total emissions, and residential buildings emit 6% of greenhouse gas emissions. Addressing climate change mitigation and adaptation in the buildings sector requires an integrated approach among key stakeholders in Canada’s housing and climate change landscape.

Produced for CMHC, this ecosystem map provides a comprehensive assessment of the activities, plans, approaches, initiatives, and connections between key stakeholders in Canada’s housing and climate change ecosystem, including:

• Federal, Provincial, Territorial, and Municipal Government;
• Granting councils;
• Not-for-profits, and;
• Private sector.

This ecosystem map can help you identify which stakeholders:

• Invest in climate-resilient initiatives;

• Emphasize climate-resilient housing strategies;

• Provide access climate information;

• Take on various roles and functions in the ecosystem.
