Gatineau, QC – December 2, 2025 – Global Affairs Canada has determined that the proposed Gender Transformative Climate Adaptation is not likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects.

This determination was based on a consideration of the following factors:

• community knowledge;
• comments received from the public; and
• technically and economically feasible mitigation measures.

Mitigation measures taken into account for this determination are:

• Assess water availability and quality before final site selection for wells, regular monitoring of groundwater levels, promote water-saving techniques
• Incorporating settling ponds and contouring for flood prevention for fish hatcheries
• Prioritizing local and drought-tolerant tree species for reforestation
• Use Integrated Pest Management practices to detract pest while maintaining agroecological systems intact
• Coordinate with relevant ministries to manage biohazardous waste during livestock vaccination periods

Global Affairs Canada is satisfied that that the carrying out of the project is not likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects.

Therefore, Global Affairs Canada may carry out the project, exercise any power, perform any duty or function, or provide financial assistance to enable the project to be carried out in whole or in part.
