Renewable Is Doable
A cheaper, cleaner, and less risky option than the current nuclear-reliant Ontario electricity plan, is doable, according to a state-of-the-art modelling analysis commissioned by WWF-Canada and the Pembina Institute.

Implications of global warming for Canada's water resources
Canada has a precious liquid treasure that we cannot afford to squander. It is not too late. We can still avoid dangerous impacts from global warming if serious, immediate and sustained action is taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Implications of a 2°C global temperature rise for Canada's natural resources
In this study, we use the climate (or bioclimate) envelope approach to examine the
implications of a 2°C warming on two aspects of Canada’s natural resources – Atlantic marine
species and Ontario and boreal forests.

Are We Putting Our Fish in Hot Water?
Fish are increasingly threatened by the effects of climate change as
temperatures rise in rivers, lakes and oceans, says a new WWF report. It says
that hotter water means less food, less offspring and even less oxygen for
marine and freshwater fish populations.

The Arctic Climate Impact Assessment (ACIA)
A WWF study shows global warming could fundamentally alter one third of plant and animal habitats by the end of this century. A predictive study published in the scientific journal Nature indicates climate change could cause extinction of more than a million terrestrial species in the next fifty years. The Arctic Climate Impact Assessment (ACIA), produced by more than 250 scientists and six circumpolar indigenous peoples' organizations, proves that climate change is happening and will get worse in the Arctic.
