ERIS Originals (Canada)

Wildfire risks are escalating in Canada due to climate change, outdated policies, and lagging adaptation efforts. Because temperatures have been rising faster at high northern latitudes and over land rather than oceans, Canada is warming twice as fast as the global average. Experts predict Canada will experience longer fire seasons, larger and more intense fire events, and extreme fire weather, increasing risk to people, communities, and businesses in forested areas.
