Environment related predictions to impact Canada in 2045 include:

  • Under the RCP8.5 scenario (the concentration of carbon is at an average of 8.5 watts per square meter across the planet), the mean annual temperature in Canada is projected to increase by 1.8°C to 6.3°C compared to 1986-2005. During the same period, summer temperatures in Canada are projected to increase by 1.4°C to 5.4°C, and mean winter temperature is projected to increase by 2.4°C to 8.2°C. Likelihood: 50 percent1
  • Temperatures rise the most in the northernmost regions of Canada that fall within the Arctic Circle, followed by the northern coasts and inland areas. Likelihood: 50 percent1
  • Winter precipitation increases by approximately 9.1% to 37.8% compared to 1986-2005, on average. Additionally, winter precipitation particularly increases in northern Canada. Likelihood: 50 percent1
  • Summer precipitation decreases in parts of Canada (southern Prairies and west coast) but increases in others (parts of northern Canada). Overall summer precipitation increases by approximately 5.2% to 10.6% compared to 1986-2005, on average. Likelihood: 50 percent1
  • Under an intermediate-low, regional sea level rise scenario, there will be a rise of up to 1 meter along portions of the east coast, up to 50 centimeters along the northeastern-most landmass, and up to 70 centimeters along the west coast compared to 1980-1999. However, there will be a decrease in sea levels of up to 80 centimeters along the coast of Hudson Bay and the northernmost areas of the country. Likelihood: 50 percent1
  • Coastlines that experience the greatest relative sea level rise include the Atlantic Provinces, the Gulf of St. Lawrence, the Beaufort Sea, Haida Gwaii, parts of Vancouver Island, and other parts of the British Columbia coast. Likelihood: 50 percent1
  • Extreme weather events overwhelm the capacity of water infrastructure, leading to flooding and water contamination issues and causing damage to transportation networks, disrupting access and supply chains. Likelihood: 50 percent1
  • Rising temperatures lead to a rapid loss of glaciers, impacting water flow and temperature in glacial-fed streams and rivers. Likelihood: 50 percent1
