Vulnerability to climate change

Polygons representing areas vulnerable to heavy rains, heat waves, destructive storms, droughts, and floods. Vulnerability corresponds to the propensity or predisposition of a system (community, infrastructure and natural environment) to suffer damage caused by the manifestation of a climatic hazard. It varies according to the nature, extent and pace of the evolution of the event as well as the variation in the climate to which the system is exposed, the sensitivity of this system and its capacity to adapt.

These maps were produced as part of the implementation of the City of Montreal's [Climate Plan 2020-2030] (https://portail-m4s.s3.montreal.ca/pdf/Plan_climat%2020-16-16-VF4_VDM.pdf), which aims in particular to improve urban planning and regulatory tools. With this in mind, the City is committed to updating the climate change vulnerability analysis, initially carried out as part of the 2015-2020 Climate Change Adaptation Plan for the Agglomération de Montréal, in order to integrate it into planning and mobility approaches. The publication of this data also contributes to the annual [accountability] (https://montreal.ca/articles/plan-climat-montreal-objectif-carboneutralite-dici-2050-7613) of the Climate Plan. Each year, the City of Montreal reports on the progress of its 46 actions and the monitoring of its indicators, including the status of various climate hazards illustrated by vulnerability maps.

The data can also be consulted on the [interactive map of vulnerabilities to climate hazards in the Montreal agglomeration] (https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/944e0b7104bd491591ccca829da24670/page/Page/).**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**
