Climate Atlas Guidebook

The Climate Atlas of Canada is an interactive tool for citizens, researchers, businesses, and community and political leaders to learn about climate change in Canada. The articles, maps, and videos in the atlas tell a compelling story: climate change is here, it’s a serious challenge, and we can take action.

The atlas can help you make sense of climate change, and this guidebook will help you make sense of the atlas. First we’ll explain how to find different kinds of information in the Atlas. And then we’ll give you some help figuring out what it all means.

This version of the guidebook refers to the last version of the Atlas (version 1), but it still contains a lot of great information about working with climate data. We are currently working to update the guidebook for the current atlas (version 2).

Take Action

Climate change touches all of our lives, one way or another. Because it affects all aspects of modern life, there are many kinds of meaningful choices we can make that will help.

Climate change solutions start close to home, with simple actions in our own homes and families, but also involve new ways of thinking, planning, and acting in workplaces, neighbourhoods, and communities across the country.

See our "Take Action" topic for ideas and examples of innovative climate action taking place all across Canada.

The Climate Atlas of Canada is part of a national suite of climate data portals.

Stories and explanations about climate change, and local climate data that can be explored using maps and graphs.
