Canada in a Changing Climate: A deep dive into cities, towns, rural, and remote communities
The Canada in a Changing Climate: National Issues Report was released on June 28, 2021. It provides a national perspective on how climate change is impacting our communities, environment and economy, and highlights examples of how we are adapting. The report is a product of Canada in a Changing Climate: Advancing our Knowledge for Action, Canada’s national assessment of climate change impacts and adaptation. The National Issues Report focuses on themes of national importance that benefit from an integrated cross-Canada perspective.
Within the National Issues Report, two chapters speak to the resilience of our people and society, Cities and Towns and Rural and Remote Communities, present the key vulnerabilities, risks and challenges; new and innovative approaches to adaptation; Indigenous knowledge and perspectives; and existing knowledge gaps for Canadian communities.
