Canada in a Changing Climate: Advancing our Knowledge for Action is the national assessment of how and why Canada’s climate is changing; the impacts of these changes on our communities, environment, and economy; and how we are adapting.
Tell us how you use information about climate change impacts and adaptation and what topics and formats are most useful to you.
Between 2019 and 2021, a series of authoritative, user-friendly, online reports will be released, starting with the “Canada’s Changing Climate Report”, followed by reports on impacts, adaptation, and climate resilience, including reports on Regional Perspectives, National Issues, and the Health of Canadians in a Changing Climate. These reports will serve as a resource for Canadians, raising awareness of the issues facing our country and providing information to support sound decisions and actions that address climate change and adapt to its impacts.
This report is about how and why Canada’s climate has changed and what changes are projected for the future. Led by Environment and Climate Change Canada, it is the first report to be released as part of Canada in a Changing Climate: Advancing our Knowledge for Action.
The Canada in a Changing Climate: National Issues report will focus on climate change impacts and adaptation issues that are of national importance or that would benefit from a cross-Canada perspective.
The Canada in a Changing Climate: Regional Perspectives report will provide a picture of climate change impacts and adaptation in Canada by region.
