Our Goal

Inspire citizen participation, support communities in making meaningful adaptation and mitigation decisions, and help Canadians move from risk  to resilience.

The Prairie Climate Centre is committed to making climate change meaningful and relevant to Canadians of all walks of life. We bring an evidence-based perspective to communicating the science, impacts, and risks of climate change through maps, documentary video, research reports, and plain-language training, writing, and outreach.

Our Projects

Disability Justice and Climate Change
As disability justice and climate issues collide, Cripping Climate Adaptation lays bare the often disastrous consequences of overlooking people with disabilities and illustrates the need to consider the unique needs of people with disabilities and include them in climate adaptation.

Selkirk Adaptation
The City of Selkirk has developed a long-term strategy to assess risks facing the community and how to respond. Developed through a collaborative planning process with the Prairie Climate Centre, Selkirk shows that solutions are within our grasp provided that applied planning and a commitment to action go hand in hand.

Whether you’re a teacher, a student, or just curious about the science of climate change, we’ve got the answers to your most pressing questions in these topics below.

WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH HEATWAVES AND HEALTH?

WHERE IS CLIMATE CHANGE AFFECTING CANADIANS?

HOW DOES THE PCC COLLABORATE WITH COMMUNITIES?

WHERE CAN I FIND PCC PUBLICATIONS ABOUT CLIMATE?

Heatwaves within Canada are projected to become longer, hotter, and more frequent. Read our report telling Canadians about future projections, impacts on health, and actions that can be taken to mitigate the affect of heatwaves.

Many Canadians wonder which regions will be affected by climate change, and in what ways. Move over to our resources page for information on the impacts of severe weather, climate change, and environmental risks across the country.

Science communication and empowering citizens to take action within their communities are core goals of the Prairie Climate Centre. Visit our projects page to see both prior projects and our ongoing work with Canadians across the prairies.

Climate Change can include a wide variety of topics, including  extreme weather events, impacts on human health, changes in environmental conditions, and more. Browse the PCC’s publications to learn about these topics, among others.
