Climate change is an issue that impacts every single one of us, directly or indirectly. Making meaningful choices can help us address this issue, no matter which aspects of life it affects.

The Climate Atlas of Canada is an innovative tool for citizens, researchers, businesses, and policy makers to comprehend climate change in Canada. Combining scientific data, mapping, and stories, it brings the complex issue of climate change down to a local level and encourages action and solutions. The Atlas explains what climate change is, how it affects Canada and what these changes mean in our communities.

The goal of the mapping application is to help make climate change more meaningful and engaging to Canadian Citizens

Users can explore a variety of climate change aspects with maps, graphs, and climate data for provinces, regions, and cities. Additionally, documentary videos, developed with knowledgeable community and Indigenous leaders, give personal perspectives on the reality and implications of climate change in Canada.

The Atlas is the only resource of its kind that combines interactive web design with climatology, cinema, and cartography to connect scientific information with personal experience in an accessible manner.

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