Our 2026 Climate Impacts Map documents the ongoing devastation from climate impacts that communities across Canada face. It will be regularly updated throughout the year. The 2025 map can be found here.

In 2025, we documented a staggering 1 in 4 Canadians living in more than 220 communities were impacted by climate disasters: wildfires, flooding, drought, toxic air quality and extreme heat. As of July 20, that number has more than tripled, with more than 700 communities impacted in 2026 and counting.

That doesn’t include the millions more Canadians struggling with heating and cooling bills, at risk from erosion, or facing reduced municipal services as communities struggle to pay for climate-related damages and infrastructure costs.

We cannot keep our communities safe, or our economy thriving, without our federal government prioritising nation-building, not nation-burning projects.

Discover our recommendations for how the federal government can keep our communities safe while protecting our economy, and get in touch if your community has been impacted.
