  • Métis Climate Change and Health Vulnerability Assessment (MCCHVA) (Opens in a new Window)

    This comprehensive report examines the relationship between climate change and Métis health and wellbeing. Métis peoples living in western Canada are uniquely sensitive to the impacts of climate change due to their dependence on the land for their identity, culture, livelihoods and resource dependent economies; climate impacts will affect their physical, mental and spiritual well-being. The report reviews health vulnerabilities and Métis-relevant social determinants of health; climate risks by each governing area and type of hazard such as forest fire, extreme heat, and flooding; knowledge gaps; and, key areas for action by each Metis governing body. The report recognizes the unique environmental knowledge of the Métis Nation and the strength of their communities, which provide examples of resiliency that can be used in adapting to climate change. The report closes with recommendations.

    National Inuit Climate Change Strategy (2019) (Opens in a new Window)

    This climate strategy advances Inuit-determined actions to strengthen the sustainability and resilience of Inuit communities in the face of a rapidly changing climate and landscape, including core actions to protect Inuit culture, language and way of life. The inter-connected strategy focusses on five priority areas: knowledge and capacity-building; health, well-being and the environment; food systems; infrastructure; and, energy. The strategy provides guidance to existing and future partners, including governments and organizations, on how to work with Inuit communities to achieve their climate priorities. The strategy is available in Inuktitut Syllabics, Inuktitut Qaliujaaqpait, French, and English.

    Regional Ensemble Storm Surge Prediction System (Opens in a new Window)

    The Regional Ensemble storm Surge Prediction System (RESPS) produces storm surge forecasts using the DalCoast ocean model. DalCoast is a storm surge forecast system for the east coast of Canada based on the depth-integrated, barotropic and linearized form of the Princeton Ocean Model. The model is forced by the 10 meters winds and sea level pressure from the Global Ensemble Prediction System (GEPS).
