matter? The bad news: Climate change is an unprecedented threat to global social, economic, andenvironmental systems. It endangers human health, public safety,
infrastructure, and livelihoods, as well as the world's biodiversity and ecosystems. As the earth
continues to warm due to human-caused greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, the frequency and severity of
these dangers grow. The good news: Communities around the world, including Regina, are working
together to reduce emissions that contribute to these dangers. How Climate Change is Impacting
Regina Regina has already started to experience the impacts of climate change, with an increase in
average temperatures, more days over 30°C in the summer, and wetter springs and winters. With these
changes, there is an increased risk of extreme weather events, including longer and more intense
heat waves and flash floods. In the summer of 2021, during the development of the Energy &
Sustainability Framework, Regina experienced what is thought to be the worst drought on record for
the region, severe flooding due to heavy rainfall, and air quality warnings due to wildfires in
northern Saskatchewan. According to the Climate Atlas of Canada, Regina can continue to expect
increases in average temperature, increases in the number of extremely hot days (over 34˚C), and
increased variability in rainfall patterns.
Learn about Climate Change
Climate Change Mitigation & Adaptation Climate change mitigation means addressing the causes of
climate change. This involves reducing GHG emissions to slow, stop, and even reverse the effects of
climate change. Climate change adaptation means addressing the impacts of climate change we are
seeing now and will see more of in the future. This involves improving the ability of natural and
human systems to be strong in the face of actual and expected climate change impacts like extreme
heat events, flooding, and stronger storms. The City of Regina is taking action to reduce the
impacts of climate change and to adapt and prepare for a warmer, wetter, and more unpredictable
future. Our Community Emissions The first step to creating our path to net zero was to measure and
understand the community’s emissions. To do this, a “baseline” year – 2016 – was selected based on
a number of factors such as available data. Then, all current plans and policies were projected to
estimate their impact on our community emissions until the year 2050. In 2016, Regina’s community
emissions in 2016 were more than 5 million tonnes with no signs of decreasing. This picture charts
our projected community emissions without a coordinated plan, which does not look good for the
planet, or communities or economy. ...
