![Key Impacts at 3.5°C of Warming
Wildfires: The total area burned by wildfires will increase by nearly 50 percent.
Glaciers: Glaciers in Western Canada are projected to lose more than 75 percent of their mass.
Droughts: Central and southern Canada will experience longer, more frequent, and more intense summer droughts.
Floods: Communities must prepare for more frequent flash flooding and violent atmospheric rivers.
