The Resilience Institute was awarded Canada's Clean50 Project of the Year for our collaboration with the Piikani Lands Department on the Seeding our Future with Sweetgrass program.
Our initiative, Expanding Understanding of Community-Relevant Climate Adaptation in Small, Rural and Indigenous Communities across Canada, will receive funding under the Natural Resources Canada’s Climate Change Adaptation Program (CCAP).
Every year, we are witnessing more and more climate-induced disasters across Canada. You can help by making a donation this season that will strengthen the resilience of small, rural and Indigenous communities. Donate prior to February 28, 2025 to receive a 2024 charitable tax receipt.
The Resilience Institute (TRI) is a national charity based in Canada. Our team works locally and globally with diverse partners to minimize suffering caused by climate impacts. Weaving local and Indigenous ways of knowing with science and technology is a cornerstone of our work.
The Resilience Institute’s partnership with the Piikani Nation was featured in ReGeneration’s “ReWork Your Future” docuseries. Click play to watch our segment, or click below to watch the full episode.

The Resilience Institute was born from the passion of a small group of interdisciplinary scientists who felt that there was a huge disconnect between climate science, communication, and action on climate change. That passion provided the impetus to create a national charity that today is focused on education and applied research that will advance resilience to the current and future consequences of climate change.

There is too much of a delay between planning and action to reduce vulnerabilities to climate impacts. Our Adaptation Action goals include a flexible pool of funds to enable the implementation of community-identified adaptation and disaster risk reduction strategies – without delay.
