Our climate is changing.

Earth's climate has changed over the last century and there is new and stronger evidence that most of the warming observed in the last 50 years is due to human activities.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which advises the United Nations, is responsible for providing the international community with authoritative advice on scientific, technical and economic issues relating to climate change. The IPCC's Fourth Assessment Report (2007) concluded that climate change has accelerated in recent decades, and that most of the warming over the past 50 years is attributable to the increase in greenhouse gas emissions from human activities.

Moreover, scientists predict that temperatures will continue to rise in the 21st century. Climate change has the potential to adversely affect our environment, our communities and our economy unless we take action now - to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, and prepare for the impacts of climate change.
