The Climate Atlas of Canada combines climate science, mapping, and storytelling together with Indigenous Knowledges and community-based research and video to inspire awareness and action.
Indigenous Knowledges
This new content, co-developed with our partners, shares diverse Indigenous knowledges across diverse territories from coast to coast to coast.
Climate Change
AND CANADA'S CITIES
Four out of five people in Canada live in urban areas, which means the vast majority of Canadians face the growing risks that climate change is bringing to our cities and towns.
In this series of city reports, we offer a summary of projected climate changes for Canada’s major cities, an overview of some important national, regional and local impacts, and ideas and approaches that can be used today to take meaningful climate action across the country.
Cities are a powerful source of resilience and resourcefulness when it comes to taking action on climate change. Learn more about what climate change means where you live.

Climate Cards
For Rural Municipalities of Manitoba
Rural municipalities are experiencing the impacts of climate change and are increasingly taking steps to plan and prepare for them. Climate cards are a useful starting point when beginning the climate change adaptation planning process, providing guidance on potential hazards and climate related consequences. They summarize likely climate impacts by season and the key climate variables linked to them. Click below to explore and download climate cards for rural municipalities in Manitoba.
SPECIAL REPORT ON
Heat Waves and Health
Many Canadians welcome the arrival of hot summer days as respite from our long, cold winters.
But too much heat can be dangerous.
There’s no doubt that with climate change we’re going to see more heat waves. Even temperate coastal cities such as Vancouver are preparing for extreme heat impacts.
This report takes a look at what extreme heat means for the health of Canadians.
