Adaptation is a key part of a successful climate change plan. It is about taking actions now to help people, communities and ecosystems adjust to a changing climate. Adapting to Climate Change in Ontario covers a broad range of recommendations to help Ontario understand climate change impacts, reduce risks and take advantage of beneficial opportunities resulting from climate change.
Climate change is impacting our planet, our country, our province and our communities. This is why, to successfully combat climate change, we must confront it globally, federally, provincially and individually.
We can't win the battle without first understanding the problem. In this section you can learn what climate change is, what's causing it, how it impacts each of us, and how each of us can fight back. You'll see that human activity is largely responsible for the problem, but mindful human activity can help solve it.
It's important for all Ontario families to take action, because all individual actions will add up and become a powerful force.
It's also important for governments to take action. In this section you can learn how the Ontario government is fighting climate change.
