TORONTO, June 10, 2024 /CNW/ - Intact Financial Corporation (TSX: IFC) announces the launch of its enhanced 2024 Municipal Climate Resiliency Grants program. Intact is doubling its investment by providing $2 million over two years to support practical solutions that help municipalities, registered charities, and Indigenous communities address extreme weather events including flooding and wildfire.
2024年6月10日，多倫多/CNW/--安泰金融公司（TSX:IFC）宣佈推出其增強版2024市政氣候抵禦性補助計劃。安泰金融公司通過提供200萬美元的投資，爲期兩年的時間支持可行的解決方案，以幫助市政機構、註冊慈善機構和土著社區應對洪水和野火等極端氣候事件。
"As the frequency and severity of extreme weather continues to increase, we are doubling down on helping people and communities adapt to a changing climate," said Carla Smith, Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy, Climate and People Officer, Intact Financial Corporation. "Through our Municipal Climate Resiliency Grants program, we fund locally driven projects that support real, proven adaptation solutions to help build climate resilient communities".
"隨着極端氣候頻率和嚴重程度的不斷增加，我們將不遺餘力地幫助人們和社區適應氣候變化，" 安泰金融公司的執行副總裁、首席策略、氣候和人民官員 Carla Smith 表示。 " 通過我們的市政氣候抵禦性補助計劃，我們資助本地推動的項目，支持真實、可行的適應性解決方案，幫助建設適應氣候的強健社區。"
The Municipal Climate Resiliency Grants prioritize initiatives that implement proven adaptation solutions, including those identified by the Intact Centre on Climate Adaptation at the University of Waterloo. Eligible projects should target communities and residents that are most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change and have concrete indicators of success, with the potential to be scaled across the community.
市政氣候抵禦性補助計劃優先考慮實施經過驗證的適應性解決方案，包括滑鐵盧大學安泰適應氣候中心識別的解決方案。符合條件的項目應針對那些最容易受到氣候變化影響和具有明確成功指標的社區居民，並具備潛力可在社區範圍內推廣。
In 2022, Intact invested a total of $1 million in ten climate adaptation projects in communities across Canada. "We are proud of the partnerships and results we achieved through the 2022 Municipal Climate Resiliency Grant program, and there's so much more to do. We're in a unique position to help bring these projects to life and, with twice the available funds, we are excited to once again see the ingenuity and practicality of the projects submitted to support people and communities adapt to a changing climate," said Glenn Minnis, President and Principal Broker, Intact Public Entities.
2022年，安泰在全國各地的十個氣候適應性項目中共投資100萬美元。安泰公共實體的總裁兼負責人 Glenn Minnis 表示："我們爲2022年市政氣候抗災補助計劃取得的夥伴關係和成果感到自豪，而還有很多工作要做。我們具備唯一的優勢，可以幫助這些項目得以實現，並且有了兩倍的可用資金，我們十分期待再次看到提交的項目的創新和實用性，以幫助人們和社區適應氣候變化。"
Examples of 2022 Municipal Climate Resiliency Grant partner projects include a flood risk portal by the City of Fredericton in New Brunswick, a flood risk rebate program by the City of Charlottetown in PEI, a rain garden program for the citizens of Lac-Sergent in Quebec, and a FireSmart TM home action rebate program by the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo in Fort McMurray, Alberta.
2022年市政氣候適應性補助計劃的合作項目示例包括：新不倫瑞克省弗雷德裏克頓市的洪水風險門戶網站、PEI查洛敦市的洪水風險回扣計劃、魁北克Lac-Sergent市的雨水花園計劃，以及加拿大木質堡地區自治市的FireSmart家庭行動回扣計劃。TM加拿大木質堡地區自治市的FireSmart計劃經理、區域緊急防護部門的Chris Pottie表示："森林大火是我們地區的頭號風險，這是一種我們可以通過採取FireSmart實踐和原則來做好準備的風險。在安泰市政氣候抵禦性補助的支持下，木質堡地區的房主被鼓勵由市政工作人員進行FireSmart家庭評估。該計劃取得了遠遠超出我們預期的成功，在升級到抗火構造材料後，完成了超過600次家庭評估，並有51個房主得到了回扣補貼。"
"Wildfire is the number one risk in our region – a risk that we can prepare for by adopting FireSmart practices and principles. With the support of the Intact Municipal Climate Resiliency Grant, homeowners in Wood Buffalo were encouraged to have FireSmart home assessments conducted by municipal staff," said Chris Pottie, FireSmart Program Manager, Regional Emergency & Protective Services, Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo. "The program was a success well beyond our expectations, with more than 600 home assessments completed, and 51 homeowners supported with rebates after upgrading to a fire-resistant construction material."
"野火是我們地區的頭號風險 – 一種我們可以通過採用FireSmart實踐和原則來做好準備的風險。在安泰市政氣候抵禦性補助的支持下，木質堡地區的房主被鼓勵由市政工作人員進行FireSmart家庭評估。該計劃取得了遠遠超出我們預期的成功，在升級到抗火構造材料後，完成了超過600次家庭評估，並有51個房主得到了回扣補貼。"
"Intact has been on the frontlines of climate change for over a decade, and we see the risks and devastation of severe weather events up close. Programs such as our Municipal Climate Resiliency Grants program and our recently announced Wildfire Defense Systems service pilot project are examples of how we continue to deliver concrete solutions that help build climate resilient communities," added Ms. Smith.
"十多年來，安泰一直處於氣候變化的前沿，我們看到了嚴重氣象事件所帶來的風險和破壞。我們的市政氣候抵禦性補助計劃和我們最近宣佈的野火防禦系統服務試點項目等方案，是我們繼續提供幫助建設氣候適應性社區的具體解決方案的例子，" Smith女士補充道。關於更多有關安泰市政氣候抵禦性補助計劃的詳細信息，包括2022年合作伙伴的完整列表和於2024年秋季開放的申請流程的詳細信息，請訪問安泰金融公司網站。“這些都是我們繼續提供具體解決方案的例子，幫助建立氣候適應性社區，”史密斯女士補充道。
