Who We Are

The Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation Division (CCIAD) is part of Natural Resources Canada’s Earth Sciences Sector. Over the years, our team has gained invaluable expertise in the field of climate change impacts and adaptation - policy development and analysis, research, outreach activities – and will develop new information and tools to help decision-makers effectively use new knowledge to develop adaptation strategies. We are also very active in climate change fora across Canada and abroad.
