Climate Change

Canada is seeing the effects of climate change from coast to coast to coast. The Arctic is warming faster than anywhere else on the planet. The prairies are seeing unprecedented floods and droughts. The east coast is getting hit by stronger winter storms than ever. And it seems like B.C. is always on fire.

The issue of how to deal with a changing climate in Canada is a controversial one, with various levels of government — municipal, provincial and federal — taking different approaches.

The Narwhal tracks government commitments to climate change and separates the wheat from the chaff.

How our journalism makes a difference
Here at The Narwhal, we do journalism differently. As an independent non-profit, we’re accountable to you, our readers — not advertisers or shareholders. So we measure our success based on real-world impact: evidence that our reporting influenced citizens to hold power to account and pushed policymakers to do better.

Our stories have been raised in legislatures across the country and cited by citizens in petitions and letters to politicians.

Take our reporting on Alberta’s decision to allow cougar hunting in parks, which was cited in an official ethics complaint against the parks minister. And, after we revealed an oil and gas giant was permitted to sidestep the rules for more than 4,300 pipelines, the BC Energy Regulator started posting the exemptions it grants publicly.

This kind of work takes time, money and a lot of grit. And we can’t do it without the support of thousands of readers just like you.

Will you help us dig deep by joining as a monthly or yearly member, for any donation amount you can afford?
Yes, I’ll support independent journalism
