Abstract
The Earth’s climate system is warming, and signs of climate change are increasingly evident worldwide. The Regional District of Nanaimo (RDN), located on eastern Vancouver Island, is no exception. How these changes impact our region will depend – in part – on how well we understand and prepare for them. Using the latest generation of comprehensive global climate models, the RDN worked with the Pacific Climate Impacts Consortium (PCIC) to prepare this report describing anticipated climate change in our region. These results will be used to inform regional hazard, vulnerability and risk assessments, infrastructure design, decision-making, and planning in the region, with the goal of improving our resilience to climate change.
