Ouranos

Created in 2001, Ouranos was born out of the shared vision of the Government of Quebec , Hydro-Qubec and Environment Canada, with the financial support of Valorisation-Recherche-Qubec. Tapping into a network of approximately 450 researchers and professionals from a variety of disciplines, the consortium focuses on climate science and related vulnerabilities, impacts and adaptation. The company strives to acquire and develop knowledge on climate change and its impacts, as well as relevant socio-economic and environmental vulnerabilities, to inform policy-makers on climate trends and advise them on identifying, evaluating, promoting and implementing local and regional adaptation strategies.
