Register to become an expert reviewer of Canada’s Changing Climate Report

Canada’s Changing Climate Report is a scientific assessment that examines how Canada’s climate has changed, the causes behind these changes, and projected future changes. The Climate Research Division of Environment and Climate Change Canada is leading the development of this assessment in collaboration with numerous experts. The updated report will contribute to the Canada in a Changing Climate: National Assessment Process, led by Natural Resources Canada.

This will be the second report of its kind, following the release of the first Canada’s Changing Climate Report in April 2019. The second edition focuses on changes in the physical climate system that have wide-ranging implications for both natural and human systems in Canada. Topics covered in the report include changes in temperature, precipitation, snow, ice, permafrost, freshwater availability, and oceans surrounding Canada, as well as a newly dedicated chapter on changes in extremes.

Rigorous review is an essential part of a robust science assessment process. To ensure the next iteration of Canada’s Changing Climate Report provides a comprehensive assessment of past and future changes to the physical climate system in Canada, we are inviting experts to review the report’s chapters. Reviewers will be invited to provide both general and detailed line-by-line comments. The review process will take place from January 13 to February 14, 2025 (five weeks).

Please complete this survey to indicate your intent to review report chapter(s). The survey takes approximately 5 minutes to complete and will be open until December 20, 2024.

The information collected through this survey will only be shared with those who require access for the purposes of the survey (i.e., for contacting you to provide access to report chapters and review templates). Your personal information will not be shared with third parties. This survey is in compliance with the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act.
