En 2021, une rivière atmosphérique en C.-B. a causé des inondations et glissements de terrain, isolant le port de Vancouver—porte d’entrée de 1/3 du commerce hors Amérique du Nord.
Bilan : des milliards de pertes, que les chang. clim. ont rendues 60 % plus probable.

BC’s 2021 atmospheric river led to massive flooding and landslides that cut off the Port of Vancouver—the gateway for 1/3 of Canada’s goods trade outside North America—from the rest of the country.

The disaster cost billions and was made 60% more likely due to climate change.

Canada’s push to diversify trade is an opportunity to build infrastructure that’s ready for a changing climate. Failing to do so will mean massive costs down the road.

Canada’s industrial carbon pricing systems are meant to slash emissions and reward low-carbon innovation. But right now, they’re falling short due to poor design.
