In April 2019, the government of Canada released its first major report in an ongoing national assessment that was led by Natural Resources Canada. The report focuses on the impacts of climate change in Canada and how the country is adapting to them. Here, visitors will find the interactive digital version of this assessment's first report, which explains what changes to Canada's climate have already been observed, what caused those changes, and what further changes are projected for the future. After the introductory chapter and an executive summary, the report begins by situating climate change in a global context before going into detail on the observed changes for the different major components of Canada's climate system, including changes in temperature, precipitation, the cryosphere, the water cycle, and the oceans. The final chapter provides a summary of the changes in Canada as a whole, as well as more detailed syntheses of the preceding chapters for each of Canada's six major geographical regions. This interactive report is available in both English and French, and those interested can also download it as a PDF, either as individual chapters or as a single 444-page document.
