Canadians are witnessing the devastating effects of climate change on the world. The solution lies in shifting the way we think about energy. The answer isn’t just about taking cars off the road; it’s also about taking cars—and everything else we use—off the carbon.
Canada is home to over a quarter of the world’s Arctic lands and waters. As the climate warms, Arctic sea ice is disappearing. That summer ice is vitally important to a whole range of animals from tiny shrimp to vast bowhead whales, and to local people.
WWF-Canada is leading the transition to sustainable seafood, smart oceans management, and sustainable ocean economies to ensure that all three of Canada’s oceans—Pacific, Atlantic, and Arctic—remain ecologically rich and economically prosperous.
Canada has 20% of the world’s fresh water, an abundance that has led to a false sense of security. Globally, freshwater species populations have fallen by at least 35% in the past 40 years. Nature needs fresh water to flourish and communities need healthy rivers and watersheds to prosper.
