Individuals and households can adopt a variety of measures to optimise their energy consumption. Changes in our everyday habits can help to reduce home energy bills, lower carbon emissions and ease pressure on the power grid. Modest behaviour adustments can, over time, yield substantial energy savings on their own. Residential energy…

Canada Climate Resilience Policy Indicator
Country summary Canada’s average annual temperature rose 1.7°C between 1948 and 2016, and it is likely to continue rising. While affecting energy demand for heating and cooling, higher temperatures also escalate wildfire risks.Average annual precipitation also increased between 1948 and 2012, particularly in northern regions. Although total annual precipitation is expected to continue increasing over the 21st century, there may be less summer rainfall in Canada’s southern areas.Canada’s climate plans highlight the importance of climate resilience, but they do not elaborate specific actions for the energy sector. Instead, national energy and infrastructure strategies such…
