Climate Impacts on Canadian Communities: Summer 2025

The below list includes communities and regions affected by climate impacts in Summer 2025. It totals more than 200 locations, and does not include the 1 in 7 First Nations that also faced wildfires, evacuations, extreme heat and air quality warnings.

As fellow mayors and councillors, we know the stress, fear and trauma of these moments are a burden that doesn’t ever fully go away. We know that our communities live with the consequences of these climate impacts long after the headlines, or the alerts, end. We cannot keep dealing with these disasters on our own. That’s why we are calling on the federal government to prioritise nation-building projects that meet the dual threats of economic uncertainty and climate change.

Read the full press release here.

Note: The population count denotes that of the community, municipality or region where the alert occurred. It does not necessarily denote the number of people directly affected by the alert.
