The provincial government released its first ever climate resilience report yesterday.

The report is part of Saskatchewan's climate change plan, called Prairie Resilience, which assesses 25 measures of resilience grading them from good, fair, or poor.

"Obviously this is year one, so there is nothing really to compare too," Saskatchewan's Environment Minister Dustin Duncan said. "I think even in the early days and some of the things we're tracking, I think we're going in the right direction, but I think the most relevant information will be in the out years as we report on an annual basis."

According to the report, in which the Saskatchewan government commissioned themselves, 15 of the 25 resilience measures in the report were classified as "good".

• Saskatchewan continues to sequester significant amounts of soil organic matter, an indicator of soil productivity and carbon sequestered in provincial soil.

• We are increasing the number of culverts on the national highway system to meet a new provincial flood standard. This makes the province's transportation network more resilient to extreme weather events.

• We are reducing the intensity of greenhouse gas emissions per unit of gross domestic product, which indicates our industries are becoming more environmentally efficient and cost-effective.

• We are increasing the area of Crown land with wildfire fuel management practices, which reduces the risk of wildfire to northern communities.

Seven measures in the report were classified as "fair".

• Efforts will continue to increase the amount of renewable energy sources as part of our provincial electricity mix, with a goal of up to 50 per cent of provincial electricity generation capacity from renewables by 2030.

• We will increase the number of communities with active surveillance for mosquito- and tick-borne disease, both indicators of changing climates and conditions.

• We will continue to look at options to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions from government-owned buildings.

Three measures were given no grades, while no "poor" grades were dolled out either.
