Description: The following work provides an overview of projected climate change for the island of Newfoundland. It is intended to assist the provincial government, communities, and industry in the assessment of their climate vulnerabilities and related adaptation options. Results represent a current ‘best-guess’ at the climate Newfoundland can expect by mid- century. As with any forecasting product, there is considerable uncertainty in these projections; however, they provide reasonable guidance for short-term adaptation planning. Users interested in longer-term change can expect the trends outlined here to continue beyond the 21st century; the magnitude, however, will depend on the international response to the problem of human-induced climate change.
