The Government of Canada’s Fuel Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Model is a tool to calculate the life cycle carbon intensity (CI) of fuels and energy sources used and produced in Canada.

This audit focused on whether Natural Resources Canada, working with Environment and Climate Change Canada, designed and implemented the 2 Billion Trees Program adequately and estimated and reported on historical and future forest-sector carbon emissions and removals credibly and transparently.

This audit focused on whether selected regulations administered by Environment and Climate Change Canada achieved their greenhouse gas emission reduction targets and contributed as intended to Canada’s long-term climate change mitigation goals.

This audit examined whether the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions Canada, according to its roles and responsibilities, incorporated climate-related financial risks into its risk management systems and frameworks of federally regulated financial institutions and federally...

Humidex (Masterton and Richardson 1979) is an index developed by the Meteorological Service of Canada to describe how hot and humid the weather feels to the average person. In Canada, it is recommended that outdoor activities be moderated when the humidex exceeds 30, and that all unnecessary...

Drought projections on seasonal to annual time scales are presented for Canada over the twenty-first century, based on the Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI). Results make use of bias-corrected temperature and precipitation projections from 29 global climate models...

Multi-model ensembles for a suite of variables based on projections from Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) global climate models (GCMs) are available for 1850-2100 on a common 1x1 degree global grid. Climate projections vary across GCMs due to differences in the representation...

Continuous, year-round measurement of stream stage that is later converted to flow using a stage-discharge relationship occurs on at/near the lake outflows and 2 other stations along the principal watershed tributary, Norberg Creek. Measurements ended in 2016. Supplemental Information The Climate...

The Turkey Lakes Watershed (TLW) is 1 of 5 hydrologically "calibrated" basins in eastern Canada that were originally devoted to process-oriented research into "acid rain" effects. They were selected to cover a wide range of climatic and hydrological conditions, deposition magnitudes, and terrain...

This audit focused on whether Infrastructure Canada designed and implemented a Climate Lens approach to designated projects under selected funding programs, and whether investments under these programs contributed to more resilient, less carbon-intensive, and inclusive infrastructure investments.
