“…Annual precipitation also increased over this period by 5 to 35%, with the largest increase seen in the fall and winter seasons (Zhang et al 2000). Zhang et al (2019b) reported that average annual temperatures in Ontario have increased by 1.3°C from 1948 to 2016. This warming trend is projected to continue over the remainder of the twenty-first century (Zhang et al 2018).…”

This paper assesses the impacts of observed and projected climate changes on key indicators and critical thresholds for grape growth and wine production across the three appellations of origin in Ontario (Canada). The historical analysis is based on local weather station data from Environment Canada and the projections are based on selective ensembles of seasonal global climate model projections, statistically downscaled to create local-daily climate change scenarios. Average growing season temperatures have already been warming and growing degree days are increasing, both at statistically significant rates, and are both projected to continue increasing over the course of the twenty-first century. For Niagara Peninsula and Lake Erie North Shore, these one-time cool climate wine regions have already evolved into intermediate climate wine regions and are projected to transition into warm or even hot climate regions by the 2080s. There is also evidence showing that heat stress has and will likely continue to increase, while freeze damage has and likely will continue to decrease. Pruning and shading are the key short-term adaptation strategies while varietal selection is the key long-term adaptation strategy to minimize risks and maximise opportunities in response to these observed and projected regional climate change impacts.

“…Evidence of climate change started in Canada in the 1950s (3)(4)(5)(6) and the average temperature has increased more than 1.5°C between 1950 and 2010-almost double the global average (7). The extent of this change has varied by region, with the most significant changes occurring in northern Canada and especially in the Arctic (8). The average humidity levels in Canada have also increased, with an average increase in precipitation of about 12% (8).…”

The number of human cases of several climate-related infectious diseases, including tick-and mosquito-borne diseases, has increased in Canada and other parts of the world since the end of the last century. Predicting and mapping the risks associated with these diseases using environmental and climatic determinants derived from satellite images is an emerging method that can support research, surveillance, prevention and control activities and help to better assess the impacts of climate change in Canada. Earth observation images can be used to systematically monitor changes in the Earth's surface and atmosphere at different scales of time and space. These images can inform estimation and monitoring of environmental and climatic determinants, and thus disease prediction and risk mapping. The current array of Earth observation satellites provides access to a large quantity and variety of data. These data have different characteristics in terms of spatial, temporal and thematic precision and resolution. The objectives of this overview are to describe how Earth observation images may inform risk assessment and mapping of tick-borne and mosquito-borne diseases in Canada, their potential benefits and limitations, the implications and next steps.

“…Les premiers signes de changements climatiques au Canada remontent aux années 1950 (3-6) et la température moyenne a augmenté de plus de 1,5 °C entre 1950 et 2010, soit près du double de la moyenne mondiale (7). L'ampleur de ce changement varie d'une région à l'autre, les changements les plus importants s'étant produits dans le Nord du Canada et plus particulièrement dans l'Arctique (8). Les taux d'humidité moyens au Canada ont également augmenté, avec une augmentation moyenne des précipitations d'environ 12 % (8).…”
