Climate change challenges in Saskatchewan:
Saskatchewan is a relatively high per capita emitter
of green house gases
the energy intensive nature of Saskatchewan's economy
climatic conditions are long cold winters and short
hot summers
does not experience moderating effect of large bodies
of water
relatively small population spread over a large land
mass
climate change impacts are already being felt in Northern
Saskatchewan
lack of awareness about what to do about climate change
by the public
