Cost of Canadian wildfires could top $2 trillion over the 21st century, study shows

A new study from Simon Fraser University warns that if Canada does not reduce global warming, future generations could lose trillions of dollars to wildfire damage. The research is among the first to assign a monetary value to the increase in Canadian wildfire activity caused by climate change. The findings highlight the economic risk of unchecked warming for Canada.

Failure to curb global warming now could cost future generations of Canadians trillions of dollars in wildfire impacts alone, according to a new Simon Fraser University study. The study is among the first to put a price tag on projected Canadian wildfire activity driven by climate change.
