    This Report on the Needs Assessment Survey has been created by the Northern and Southern coordinators of the North South Climate Change Network (NSCCN). The Survey was distributed to 60 municipalities and, or organizations from both Northern and Southern Ontario.  A total of 24 of the selected groups responded to the survey.  The survey responses will serve to inform the Network and will provide participants with potential contacts and resources. Ongoing feedback from members will also be used to direct and evaluate network activities.

    Like other communities in the Great Lakes region, Toronto is undergoing significant changes in its climate. The city is becoming hotter, weather is becoming more variable, extreme weather is more common, and insect pests are multiplying as a result of warmer winters. Because of the millions of tonnes of greenhouse gases already released to the atmosphere, these changes will continue for the next century or more, even if we are successful in dramatically reducing emissions in the near future.
