“Prepare or Repair: How Climate-Proofing Public Infrastructure Pays Off”
"The report estimates that over the next 75 years, Canada will have to pay roughly $15.1 billion per year on average to maintain, renew and reactively repair infrastructure but if Canada spends roughly $4.1 billion, proactively adapting infrastructure to make it climate-resilient, costs from climate change damage could be reduced to $2.5 billion per year."
That is one hell of an investment.

"The total cost of the $4.1 billion investment plus $2.5 billion in repairs means Canada could save $8.6 billion annually, according to the report." It's more than a no-brainer: It's financial malpractice not to go for that. https://www.ctvnews.ca/climate-and-environment/article/climate-change-is-costing-canadian-cities-billions-experts-say-theres-a-better-solution/
