ForecastNL Materials
Our ForcecastNL series ran from March 2021 to October 2022 and featured 11 public sessions on local and relevant topics related to climate change, and its impacts on our environment, economy, and society.
In addition to the public sessions, we created and shared many informative items on our website, from infographics to report briefs to slideshows, all dedicated to sharing knowledge about climate change, in a way that allows newcomers to the topic to understand. All materials for each session can be found below.
Climate Change: External Resources
The focus of Forecast NL was on the impacts of climate change on Newfoundland and Labrador; however, throughout the series, many of our experts introduced online resources that apply to a broader context. We've included a list of these external sources below:
