Impacts of climate change
Fish and farming
In 2020, there was an increase in the number of "chub" mackerel being caught by PEI fishermen and the number of lobster landings in PEI waters, compared to previous years.[1] Potato yields would be expected to decrease by between 5% to 10% over the 50 years from 2024.[3]
Infrastructure and built environment
There are expected to be 500 buildings in downtown Charlottestown which would become "at risk" over the 75 years from 2025 to 2100.[4]
