A relatively low-cost/no-cost climate change mitigation strategy involves behaviour change. Human consumption patterns, particularly in developed nations, are highly GHG intensive. In 2019, the average per capita GHG emissions in…
Transportation is a significant source of GHG emissions that presents different challenges and opportunities for mitigation strategies. In many communities, transportation is the most significant source of GHG emissions and…
Another climate change mitigation strategy involves physically capturing and removing CO2 from the atmosphere through carbon capture, utilization, and sequestration/ storage (CCUS). CCUS can also involve capturing CO2 from a…
For most buildings in Ontario, the production of heat, whether for space heating or process heating, is highly energy intensive and often one of the leading sources of GHG emissions[1]….
Fuel switching is a climate change mitigation strategy that involves changing the fuels used for energy generation from high GHG-emitting fuels (e.g., fossil fuels) to lower emitting fuels (e.g., renewables,…
The combustion of fossil fuels (e.g., oil and natural gas) for energy generation is the most significant driver of human-caused GHG emissions. Reducing the amount of fossil fuel-derived energy that…

Top takeaways: As the Earth’s climate changes, the increasing occurrence and severity of extreme weather events and abnormal climatic conditions puts stress on local and global economies resulting in disruptions…
Top takeaways: Climate change-related events such as extreme weather, droughts, forest fires, and floods are disrupting local and global supply chains on an increasingly frequent basis. This impacts the movement…
Top takeaways: Global studies across the world show a clear impact on food security as rising temperatures and shifting precipitation patterns change where crops can be grown[1]. In many lower-latitude…
Top takeaways: What are the financial costs of flooding? Flooding is already the most frequent and costly natural disaster in Canada. November 2021’s floods in B.C. caused an estimated $675…
Top takeaways: What does extreme heat do to people? This is of particular concern for industries with high outdoor heat exposure risks, such as agriculture and construction. Such impacts may…
