More than two dozen University of Victoria researchers contributed to Canada’s Changing Climate Report 2026, the country’s most comprehensive assessment of how climate change is impacting communities, ecosystems and coastlines across Canada.
More than two dozen University of Victoria researchers contributed to Canada’s Changing Climate Report 2026, the country’s most comprehensive assessment of how climate change is impacting communities, ecosystems and coastlines across Canada.
The report concludes that human-caused greenhouse gas emissions are driving widespread and interconnected changes across the country, including extreme heat, longer wildfire seasons, shrinking snow and ice, warming oceans and rising sea levels.
Among the UVic contributors are Xuebin Zhang, director of the Pacific Climate Impacts Consortium (PCIC), who served on the report’s steering committee and the science advisory committee. Roberta Hamme, director of UVic’s School of Earth and Ocean Sciences, and Francis Zwiers, scientist emeritus and former director of PCIC, are co-ordinating lead authors on the chapters on oceans and climate changes over time, respectively.
