Both/And: Integrating Natural Asset Management into Federal Housing Supply Policymaking

In a world increasingly aware of the need for sustainable development, the intersection of housing policy and natural infrastructure has never been more critical. Our report with the Canadian Urban Institute (CUI), Both/And: Integrating Natural Asset Management into Federal Housing Supply Policymaking, asserts the importance of incorporating natural asset management (NAM) into Canada’s federal housing strategies. This approach promises not only to enhance community resilience to climate change, but also to elevate the quality of life for all Canadians.

Acknowledgement

We acknowledge Indigenous Peoples as the traditional stewards of Turtle Island, and that these lands are the ancestral and unceded territories of diverse Inuit, First Nations, and Métis Peoples. We commit to and are responsible for ensuring that natural asset management upholds the principles of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. We continually seek ways to learn from the harms of the past and move our work forward in a spirit of reconciliation and collaboration.

Making Nature Count

By sharing the results of natural asset management efforts across Canada, we provide decision-makers with the information and incentive they need to begin working with nature to improve their community.
