BC riverDegrees of Change: Climate Warming and the Stakes for Canada

The National Round Table on the Environment and the Economy released today as part of its Climate Prosperity series a report called Degrees of Change: Climate Warming and the Stakes for Canada. This report contains a unique illustration of how climate change could impact Canada over the 21st century if global warming trends continue. It is a Canadian map telling a Canadian story. Climate change will affect Canada and Canadians differently depending upon where we live.  Understanding what those impacts could be and planning ahead can help us all adapt and prosper through decades of climate change to come. The report is available at www.climateprosperity.ca.
