The release of a new Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report (“Climate Change 2022: Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability”) provides an opportunity to better understand the costs of climate change on communities all around the world. A recent article by the the CBC News science desk places these impacts and costs into the Canadian context across four important categories including: wildfires, cities/floods, food production and indigenous health.
The Canada 1 Water team is always looking for partners to help us translate the results of our integrated hydrologic forecasting into societally relevant metrics. The project will help us to understand exactly how future climate conditions (i.e. droughts and severe storms) will impact soil moisture, groundwater levels and stream flows across Canada. But we need a diverse set of partners to help us quantify second order impacts to food production systems, indigenous health, forest health/wildfires and the housing market. If you are interested in collaborating with the C1W team to answer these questions don’t hesitate to contact us (info@aquanty.com)!
