Provincial report outlines climate risks to Nova Scotia through end of 21st century
The report says severe storms like hurricanes Juan and Fiona have hit harder than ever before, and the worsening pattern is projected to continue over the century.
While it does not offer solutions, the risk assessment is meant as a resource to help governments set priorities, plan and act. “It’s important to understand where and how we are vulnerable so we can all take action,” Environment and Climate Change Minister Tim Halman said in a news release. Climate change “will affect the province and Nova Scotians in many ways our economy, the environment and our well-being,” he added.
With continued high emissions, the report says the top concerns in Nova Scotia will be flooding during the 2030s, warmer temperatures and wildfires in the 2050s, and extreme temperatures that harm health and food production in the 2080s.
