Adaptation Canada 2026 is Canada’s premier national conference on climate adaptation. Now in its third edition, Canada’s leading national conference on climate adaptation is more expansive in its reach than ever. It will bring together over 1,000 participants from diverse Canadian sectors and communities to exchange ideas, share solutions, and spark action on climate resilience. Through engaging panels, workshops, sessions-on-the-move, and curated networking, delegates will take part in the conversations needed to drive meaningful action forward.
Revisit highlights from the 2025 Livable Cities Forum.
Reach net zero, resilience, and sustainability goals
Local governments don’t have to navigate energy transition, equitable climate adaptation, and sustainable development alone. LCF is Canada’s preeminent event for local leaders, urban professionals, and on-the-ground practitioners working to transition to net zero, advance climate resilience, and build an inclusive and equitable future. The Forum is widely known for its high-calibre practical sessions, diverse speakers, and meaningful networking opportunities. Many past delegates refer to it as their favourite conference of the year. Watch a short video from LCF 2023 to get a glimpse of what LCF is all about.
Discover practical tools, resources, and best practices
LCF provides a space in which people can discover and exchange innovative ideas and actionable insights to support local climate action. Sessions showcase practical tools and resources, leading-edge practices, learnings from real world examples, and diverse perspectives.
Learn differently through a variety of engaging sessions
Sessions are uniquely designed to go beyond presentation-style delivery. These include many interactive and engaging workshops, trainings, and discussions to offer hands-on learning opportunities over three days. Multisolving will also be explored through immersive sessions where delegates will explore examples of energy transition and community climate action in Vancouver and the surrounding regions.
Connect with experts, leaders, and practitioners from across Canada
LCF delegates can learn from and collaborate with climate experts, leaders and policymakers, urban professionals, and on-the-ground practitioners. Opportunities for networking are purposefully included in the program to allow delegates to share experiences and lessons learned, have candid conversations, create and strengthen relationships, build support networks, and make connections.
