Contained within 3rd Edition (1957) of the Atlas of Canada is a map that shows the division of Canada into climatic regions according to the classification of the climates of the world developed by W. Koppen. Koppen first divided the world into five major divisions to which he assigned the letters A, B, C, D, and E. The letters represent the range of divisions from tropical climate (A) to polar climate (E). There are no A climates in Canada. The descriptions of the four remaining major divisions are given in the map legend. Koppen then divided the large divisions into a number of climatic types in accordance with temperature differences and variations in the amounts and distribution of precipitation, on the basis of which he added certain letters to the initial letter denoting the major division. The definitions of the additional letters which apply in Canada are also given when they first appear in the map legend. Thus b is defined under Csb and the definition is, therefore, not repeated under Cfb, Dfb or Dsb. For this map, the temperature and precipitation criteria established by Koppen have been applied to Canadian data for a standard thirty year period (1921 to 1950 inclusive).

The HOT2000 software contains monthly and annual climate data for 403 locations in Canada. Boundary lines for HOT2000 climate zones were defined through spatial interpolation of the annual Celsius heating degree-days for each weather station. In a number of instances, the positions of boundary lines may not be representative of the local climate conditions due to lack of appropriate climate data. Each HOT2000 climate zone contains one weather station to be used for all locations within the zone. Climate data represent 20-year averaged data from 1998 to 2017 for locations south of 58° latitude and 13-year averaged data from 2005 to 2017 for locations north of 58° latitude. Note that Whistler, BC uses 13 years of data. The following information is available in the climate map: o Location: the name of the weather station. o Region: the provincial or territorial location of the weather station. o Latitude: measured in degrees north of the equator. o Annual heating degree-days using a base of 18 °C. o Design heating dry bulb temperature (°C): the 2.5% January design temperature used to calculate the design heat loss for the house. o Design cooling dry bulb temperature (°C): the 2.5% July design temperature used to calculate the design cooling load for the house. o Design cooling wet bulb temperature (°C): the 2.5% July design temperature used to calculate the design cooling load for the house. The climate map is intended to be used by all users of the HOT2000 software under the EnerGuide Rating System, including energy advisors, service organizations, regulatory agencies, builders, utilities, and all levels of government. The weather locations and climate data are based on Environment and Climate Change Canada data, specifically the Canadian Weather Energy and Engineering Datasets (CWEEDS).

Multi-temporal Local Climate Zone maps for seven functional urban areas (Calgary, Edmonton, Halifax, Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, Winnipeg), and seven census years (1986, 1991, 1996, 2001, 2006, 2011, 2016). Regions of interest are defined by each cities' functional urban area, and the LCZ maps are available per city and census year, on a 100 m spatial resolution.

A simulation showing the projected changes in June to August mean temperatures from the period 1975 to 1995 to the period 2080 to 2100 is shown on this map. There would be typically more warming over land than over oceans, at higher latitudes than at lower latitudes, but the warming would be smaller in the summer than in the winter. Temperatures would generally increase as a consequence of the projected increase in greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere. The results are based on climate change simulations made with the Coupled Global Climate Model developed by Environment Canada.

This map shows the projected average change in mean temperature (°C) for 2046-2065, with respect to the reference period of 1986-2005 for RCP4.5. The median projected change across the ensemble of CMIP5 climate models is shown.

Local climate zones have been developed in the climatology field to characterize the landscape surrounding climate monitoring stations, toward adjusting for local landscape influences on measured temperature trends. For example, a station surrounded by tall buildings may be influenced by the urban heat island effect compared to a station in an agricultural area. The local climate zone classification system was developed by Iain Stewart and Tim Oke at the University of British Columbia. The classification scheme has been adopted by the World Urban Database Access and Tools Portal (WUDAPT) project, which aims to produce local climate zone maps for the entire world at a scale of ~ 100m. Local climate zones take building and vegetation type and height into account, and therefore serve as indicators of urban form, from dense urban (high building with little vegetation) to industrial/commercial (large lowrise buildings with paved areas) and natural (dense trees, low plants, water). How local climate zones are related to human health is a new area of research.CANUE staff and students worked in collaboratation with WUDAPT researchers to map local climate zones for Canada, using scripts developed in Google Earth Engine and applied to LandSat imagery for key time periods. Each postal code has been assigned to one of 14 local climate zone classes. In adition, seven groups have been created by aggregating similar local climate zones, and the percentage of group in the neighbourhood (1km2) around each postal code has been calculated.

The National Pollutant Release Inventory (NPRI) is Canada's public inventory of pollutant releases (to air, water and land), disposals and transfers for recycling. The files below contain a map of Canada showing the locations of all facilities that reported direct releases to surface waters to the NPRI. The data are for the most recent reporting year, by reported total quantities of these releases. The map is available in both ESRI REST (to use with ARC GIS) and WMS (open source) formats. For more information about the individual reporting facilities, a dataset is available in a CSV format.

The Map of Adaptation Actions houses a collection of climate change adaptation examples that provide useful information to decision-makers and those taking action on climate change adaptation. This searchable, interactive map began as a way to explore the case stories that are included in reports under the national assessment process, Canada in a Changing Climate: Advancing our Knowledge for Action. The Map also includes examples from a variety of other sources in Canada, including federal programs, provincial and territorial programs, municipalities, Indigenous communities and organizations, non-governmental organizations, and academia, among others. Examples are from various regions and sectors, represent different stages of the adaptation cycle, and address a variety of climate-related impacts. This Map is intended for use by decision and policy makers, action enablers, and practitioners in the climate adaptation space. The map can also be used by all Canadians looking for examples of what is already being done to adapt to climate change across Canada. While the Map does not provide a comprehensive list of all action across Canada, nor a set of endorsed or best practices, the examples can help communities and organizations facing similar situations inspire each other to act.

A simulation of projected changes in summer (June to August) temperatures from the period 1961 to 1990 to the period 2040 to 2060 for Canada is shown on this map. The temperature changes would not be evenly distributed geographically. The model shows broadly similar but weaker and less geographically structured pattern than the winter pattern, which is warming for the interior and northern parts of the country. Temperatures would generally increase as a consequence of the projected increase in greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere. The results are based on climate change simulations made with the Coupled Global Climate Model developed by Environment Canada.

This map shows the projected change in mean precipitation for 2016-2035, with respect to the reference period of 1986-2005 for RCP2.6, expressed as a percentage (%) of mean precipitation in the reference period. The median projected change across the ensemble of CMIP5 climate models is shown.
