The Chartered Professional Accountants of Canada and Natural Resources Canada have sponsored a new strategic initiative that will
help companies adapt to the effects of climate change by indentifying the risks and opportunities.

This multi-year initiative to help businesses and organizations better understand and adapt to the implications of climate change was
announced by the Chartered Professional Accountants of Canada (CPA Canada) on May the 5th.

CPA Canada is investing $375,000 of the $750,000 project, which is supported by Natural Resources Canada (NRCan).

“Professional accountants hold key roles in finance, operations and risk management in every sector of the economy,” says Kevin Dancey, CPA Canada’s president and CEO. “These knowledgeable and skilled professionals can identify both risks and opportunities, which allows them to develop value-creating strategies. Their skills are more relevant than ever in meeting market expectations and business needs arising from environmental issues.”
