A new study estimates that Canadian wildfires could cost more than $2 trillion over the course of the 21st century, adding to concerns about the growing economic toll of climate-driven disasters. Canada has faced increasingly severe fire seasons in recent years, with widespread smoke affecting communities across North America. The findings are drawing attention to the long-term financial risks of inaction on climate change.
Why now: The scale of the projected cost highlights the mounting economic impact of climate change on Canada and beyond.
