The Saskatchewan government released its first climate resilience report Wednesday.

The report examines targets, baselines, historical trends and the current status for 25 measures of resilience, as outlined in the Climate Resilience Measurement Framework released last November.

Of the 25 measures, the province is self-reporting 15 of them are classified as good, meaning they are demonstrating anticipated trends. For the most part, these measures fall under the natural systems and economic sustainability measures.

The highlights provided by the province include the sequestration of soil organic matter, the increase in the number of culverts to meet new provincial flood standards, the reduction of the intensity of greenhouse gas emissions and an increase in the area of Crown land with wildfire fuel management practices.

Not every measure was classified as good in the report.

“Where there are areas where maybe we need to do more work, it’s certainly my expectations, so long as I am the minister, and certainly I would hope it would be the decision of the minister, whoever it is going forward, that in areas where we’re maybe not making as much progress, or not adapting, or have enough plans in place to ensure our resilience to the ongoing effects of climate change, that we’ll report that accurately to the public,” explained Environment Minister Dustin Duncan.

There were seven measures which were classified as fair, meaning they were maintaining the status quo or were possibly showing mixed results.

Those were efforts to increase the number of renewable energy sources as part of the provincial electricity mix. The goal is to achieve 50 percent of provincial electricity generation from renewables by 2030.

The others were communities with active surveillance for mosquito and tick-borne diseases, as well as options to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions from government-owned buildings.
