About

Canada in a Changing Climate: Regional Perspectives Report was led by Natural Resources Canada and provides regional perspectives on how climate change is impacting our communities, environment and economy, and how we are adapting to reduce risk. The report assesses current literature and knowledge on climate change impacts and adaptation, and includes case stories that feature examples of adaptation in practice. Each regional chapter discusses key vulnerabilities, risks and challenges; new and innovative approaches to adaptation; Indigenous knowledge and perspectives; capacity to adapt to climate change impacts; and knowledge gaps and emerging issues. Regional chapters include: Atlantic Provinces, Quebec, Ontario, Prairie Provinces, British Columbia and Northern Canada. Chapters from this report will be released on a rolling basis during 2020 and 2021. The report is a product of Canada in a Changing Climate: Advancing our Knowledge for Action, Canada’s national climate change assessment process.

The digital interactive version of the report is available at ChangingClimate.ca/Regional-Perspectives. The report is also available at: adaptation.nrcan.gc.ca
