La pointe de l'iceberg
Summary
The document highlights the escalating financial burden of climate change in Canada, noting that insured catastrophic losses from 2010 to 2019 were double those from 1983 to 2009. It emphasizes that 1.8 million Canadian homes face very high flood risks and calls for decisive investment in resilience to protect the economy, nature, and public health.
Key insights
- Weather-related catastrophic losses in Canada have increased dramatically, with the cost of insured losses between 2010 and 2019 being twice as high as the total from 1983 to 2009. The average cost per disaster has risen by 1250% since the 1970s, and annual climate-related costs now equal approximately 5% to 6% of annual GDP growth.
