Climate Change

Our climate is changing in Prince Edward Island. We are part of this global problem. When we use oil to heat and power our homes, gasoline and diesel to fuel our cars and trucks, we are all making greenhouse gases that change our climate. We need to take action to reduce our emissions and so does the rest of the world.

Prince Edward Island is takings steps to reduce our emissions. We are using more renewable energy and using energy more efficiently.

We are also working to prepare for climate change. Sea level is rising. Flooding along the coast will become more common in the future. Erosion will continue to change our coastline. Appropriate planning along our coast will become more and more important in order to protect people and property.
