Climate Change Adaptation in the City of Toronto: Lessons for Great Lakes Communities
May 4, 2009
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.
