All One Sky Foundation
Overview
ALL ONE SKY FOUNDATION is a not-for-profit, charitable organization established by the former Climate Change Central in 2010 to help vulnerable populations at the crossroads of energy and climate change. We do this through education, research and community-led programs, focusing our efforts on adaptation to climate change and energy poverty. Our vision is a society in which ALL people can afford the energy they require to live in warm, comfortable homes, in communities that are able to respond and adapt to a changing climate.
All One Sky Foundation associates offer a unique combination of experience and international expertise
in climate science, energy efficiency program design, climate resilience and adaptation planning, risk management, climate change economics, and bridging the gap between the latest climate science and real world decision-making. Our team and board have high-level expertise in the formation, administration and delivery of a provincial climate change agency specializing in energy efficiency programs.

Climate Resilience Planning Workshops Climate Resilience for Alberta Municipalities
Summary: Severe flooding in Southern Alberta in 2013 highlighted the extreme vulnerability and lack of preparedness experienced by municipalities located near overflowing rivers and tributaries. Since scientific evidence predicts more climate-related events, All One Sky Foundation designed a workshop to help municipalities build community resilience to catastrophic weather events. One-day workshops were held in Edmonton and Calgary, drawing municipalities from all over the province. The project led to a step-by-step primer to help municipalities start to plan for a changing climate.
