Canada 2026

캐나다

Canada enters 2027 with electricity that is largely non-emitting, an oil and gas sector that still produced 30% of national emissions in 2024, a freshwater endowment that is vast in total but thin where people live, and a hazard regime in which 산불, hail, flood and ice storms now set the pace of losses. National emissions were 685 Mt CO₂e in 2024, 10.3% below 2005 and almost unchanged on 2023.

01 · Readings

Canada in six readings.

Six readings that frame the baseline, and the eight questions this edition answers, each with its status and source.

  • 41.5millionpopulation, 2025 [11]
  • 8.79million km²land area [32]
  • ≈9%of the world’s forests [31]
  • ≈83%electricity from non-emitting sources [9]
  • ≈⅓of world potash output [30]
  • 12.4% GDPhealth spending, 2024 [21]

02 · Sectors

Six sectors, one hexagon.

Water first, then Energy, Infrastructure, Food, Health and Biodiversity. Each count is the findings of this edition in that sector: coverage of the evidence, never a score. Infrastructure is not assessed: the edition holds no Infrastructure finding and its coupling matrix does not assess it.

  1. WAT물1 finding

    ≈7% Share of the world’s renewable freshwater, long-run mean. 보고값

    Abundant in total, scarce where people and farms are; drought on the Prairies and in southern British Columbia is the binding stress.

  2. ENE에너지2 findings

    50 Mt CO₂e Electricity-sector emissions, 2024. 보고값

    Low-emitting power; emissions concentrated in oil and gas; hydro output exposed to dry years.

  3. INF인프라not assessed

    Long, thin corridors carry trade; gateways have shown capacity and continuity limits.

  4. FOO식량0 findings

    70 Mt CO₂e Agriculture-sector emissions, 2024. 보고값

    A major exporter of grains, oilseeds and potash; yields swing with Prairie drought.

  5. HLT보건1 finding

    619 deaths Heat-related deaths, 2021 heat dome (BC), 2021. 보고값

    Heat and smoke now load the health system each season; 원헬스 signals include H5N1 in poultry and a domestic human case in 2024.

  6. BIO생물다양성1 finding

    13.7% Land in protected and conserved areas, 2023. 보고값

    Vast forest and freshwater ecosystems; conservation at about half of the 2030 target.

Outside the six sectors: Climate forcing 3, Finance 2, Systemic 1, Trade 1.

03 · Hazard exposure

The hazards this edition reads.

The edition’s own risk objects, in its order, each read across driver, exposure, vulnerability, capacity, cascade and horizon. The hexagon marks the sectors the cascade reaches; the domain beside each is an editorial reading of its hazard words.

Scenario · SCN-CAN-HDF-01

Western heat, drought and fire year

Under this scenario, results describe a conditional season under stated assumptions. It is not a forecast, and no intervention described here has been carried out.

4 of 12 findings name a hazard in their text. Show them

  1. 1CLI → WATlow snowpack and heat cut summer flows and reservoir inflow
  2. 2WAT → ENElower hydro output; imports at peak prices
  3. 3CLI → HLTheat deaths and emergency visits; cooling in care settings

  5. 5WAT → FOOcanola and wheat yields fall by a third or more

04 · Couplings

How the sectors carry risk into each other.

The Canada matrix types the twenty couplings between the five core 시스템. Strengths are Nexus estimates from the cited evidence and analogue events; they set the starting graph that the Q1 2027 Foundry cut will test.

Findings of Canada
ID판Sector or system상태Statement
CLI-001캐나다CLI Climate forcing 보고값National GHG emissions were 685 Mt CO₂e in 2024: 10.3% below 2005 and 0.3% below 2023.
FIN-002캐나다FIN 금융 보고값Insured catastrophe losses reached a record C$9.1 billion in 2024, then C$2.4 billion in 2025, with 17 catastrophes declared.
FIN-003캐나다FIN 금융 보고값Insurance has covered about 54% of societal catastrophe losses over 43 years; the long-run loss trend is rising by about 9% a year after inflation.
ENE-004캐나다ENE 에너지 보고값Oil and gas remained the largest emitting sector (208 Mt, 30%, up 1.8%), while methane fell to its lowest level on record (105 Mt CO₂e).
ENE-005캐나다ENE 에너지 InferredElectricity emitted 50 Mt CO₂e (7.2%). Hydro’s dominance makes multi-year drought a direct risk to supply and to exports.
WAT-006캐나다WAT 물 보고값Canada holds about 7% of the world’s renewable freshwater; most of it drains north, away from population and agriculture.
CLI-007캐나다CLI Climate forcing 보고값Canada has warmed at about twice the global rate (1.7 °C, 1948–2016), and northern Canada faster still.
HLT-008캐나다HLT 보건 보고값The 2021 heat dome caused 619 heat-related deaths in British Columbia, establishing heat as a first-order health–power coupling.
BIO-009캐나다BIO 생물다양성 보고값Protected and conserved areas covered 13.7% of land and 14.7% of marine territory in 2023, against a 30% target for 2030.
CLI-010캐나다CLI Climate forcing 보고값The 2023 산불 season burned more than 15 million hectares, the largest on record, and 2025 led the record for fire catastrophes declared.
TRD-011캐나다TRD 무역 InferredAbout three-quarters of goods exports go to the United States, so trade policy is the main channel for economic shocks in 2026–2027.
SYS-012캐나다SYS 시스템 Expert inputThe leading compound pathway for 2027 testing runs from heat and drought through hydro shortfall, 산불 smoke and rail disruption into health and food logistics in Western Canada.
