Abstract
These projections indicate that climate change could result in significant changes to many of Canada’s natural ecosystems. For example, there could be wider variations in temperature, a rapid northward shift of climatic zones, lower water levels in the Great Lakes St. Lawrence Basin, rising sea levels along Canada’s coasts and increased land instability in northern Canada as a result of permafrost decay. The consequences for wildlife, human communities and the Canadian economy could be significant. Research is continuing in Canada to improve scientific understanding of climate change and its possible impact
