a Changing Climate

Canada in a Changing Climate is a national initiative dedicated to assessing the evolving impacts of climate change across Canada. The initiative focuses on understanding the reasons behind climate shifts, their effects on communities, health, and the environment, as well as strategies for adaptation. It operates through collaborative efforts involving experts from various sectors, including government, Indigenous organizations, academia, and the private sector, reflecting a broad and inclusive approach to climate action.

Among its engaging activities, the initiative recently hosted the Your Voice, Your Art, Our Climate youth art contest, inspiring students in grades 7 to 12 to express their perspectives on climate change through creative visual art. The resulting works of art may feature in upcoming National Assessment reports, showcasing the vital role creativity plays in climate discourse. Additionally, the initiative has published a series of accessible online reports, including the influential Canada’s Changing Climate Report, ensuring that vital information is available to Canadians as they confront the challenges and opportunities presented by climate change.
