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. Between 2019 and 2023, a series of authoritative, user-friendly, online reports are being released.

The first, Canada’s Changing Climate Report (2019), assessed how and why Canada’s climate is changing and what changes are projected for the future. Subsequent reports focus on impacts, adaptation, and resilience. To date, these include: Canada in a Changing Climate: National Issues Report (2021), Canada in a Changing Climate: Regional Perspectives Report (2020-2022), and the Health of Canadians in a Changing Climate (2022). A Synthesis Report will be released in 2023. It will draw from, and provide added value to, the findings of all the other reports. An Indigenous report, slated for release in 2024, will draw from traditional knowledge, perspectives, and experiences to explore the multidimensional and intersecting aspects of climate impacts and adaptation.
