Municipalities across Canada have a new opportunity to enhance their climate resilience through funding from the Green Municipal Fund (GMF). This initiative, specifically for Climate-Ready Plans and Processes, offers funding to support local governments in developing climate adaptation plans, asset management strategies, risk assessments, and other climate-focused projects. With a deadline of November 29, 2024, this funding is essential for those seeking to build climate-resilient communities.
At Green Analytics, we specialize in helping municipal governments establish natural asset management plans, which are key to building long-term climate resilience. Such plans include natural asset inventories, ecosystem service valuation, planning, and life cycle costing estimates, and help ensure that municipalities not only manage their natural assets effectively but also align with climate adaptation goals.
Natural assets like forests, wetlands, and green spaces provide essential ecosystem services, from reducing flood risks to absorbing carbon emissions. However, these assets are often undervalued or overlooked in traditional asset management practices. That’s where Green Analytics comes in—helping municipalities integrate natural assets into their asset management and long-term climate resilience strategies.

The GMF funding is open to various organizations, including:
It’s important to note that for-profit entities are not eligible for this funding.
If your organization fits these criteria, we recommend preparing your application as early as possible. Submitting a complete application well before the deadline gives GMF the opportunity to flag any issues and ensure your project is eligible for consideration. This funding round will prioritize projects from applicants who have not yet received support from the Climate-Ready Plans and Processes initiative.
Green Analytics has a proven track record of helping municipalities undertake natural asset management for increased climate resilience.

The NAD tool is a custom tool that uses GIS to process numerous open-source datasets to generate natural asset inventories across Canada. Built by our team of experts, the NAD tool provides GA with the ability to efficiently create a natural asset inventory anywhere in Canada, using national scale, freely available data from a variety of sources.
At Green Analytics, our mission is to empower communities and organizations to make data-driven decisions for sustainable environmental stewardship. A core part of this mission involves working with nature-based solutions (NbS) to restore ecosystems, enhance biodiversity, and deliver long-term economic and social benefits. NbS, which harness natural processes to tackle environmental challenges, are increasingly recognized as cost-effective and holistic approaches for addressing land and water degradation.
