• Treading Water: Impact of Catastrophic Flooding on Canada’s Housing Market (2022) This study from Intact Centre on Climate Adaptation examined whether catastrophic flooding affects Canadian residential real estate (house sold price, days on market, number of listings) and mortgage markets (arrears and deferrals).  The primary audience to which findings of this report bear direct relevance includes homeowners, mortgage providers, municipalities and financial regulators.
• Health of Canadians in a Changing Climate: Advancing our Knowledge for Action (2022)  This assessment is the first comprehensive study of current and projected risks from climate change to the health of Canadians since 2008. It was developed by a team of more than 80 subject matter experts from regional and federal health authorities and academic institutions across Canada. It addresses the evolving knowledge needs of government decision makers, civil society organizations, and individual Canadians by providing evidence- based and, where possible, quantitative information to help people understand how Canada’s climate is changing, and the effects on health and health systems, including implications for those most at risk in society. For key risks to health, it also examines current efforts to prepare for climate change, from individual to national levels, and explores what further efforts are needed. The potential for very large co-benefits to health of well-designed measures to reduce GHGs are also explored in the report.

• Numerical Investigation of Climate Change Effects on Storm Surges and Extreme Waves on Canada's Pacific Coast (2022) - Storm surges and waves are key climate-driven parameters affecting the design and operation of ports and other infrastructure on the coast. Reliable predictions of future storm surges and waves are not yet available for the west coast of Canada, and this data gap hinders effective climate risk assessment, planning and adaptation. This paper presents numerical simulations of storm surges and waves in British Columbia coastal waters under a future climate (Representative Concentration Pathway) scenario (RCP8.5).  
• Prospective Climates, and Water Availabilities under Different Projections of Environmental Changes in Prince Edward Island, Canada (2022) - Climate change impacts on temperatures, precipitations, streamflows, and recharges were studied across eastern, central, and western Prince Edward Island (PEI) between climate normals in 1991–2020, 2021–2050, and 2051–2080 using observed and projected data, and SWAT modeling. 
• Indigenous mental health and climate change: A systematic literature review (2022) - Indigenous Peoples are among the most vulnerable to adverse mental health impacts resulting from climate change globally. In the context of a continually changing climate, an understanding of the diverse risks, impact, and responses of Indigenous communities to climate related mental health impacts is timely. The present study conducted a systematic literature review on the related effects, mechanisms of vulnerability, and adaptive responses and coping strategies to climate change related mental health impacts specific to global Indigenous Peoples.
• Characterizing temporal trends of meteorological extremes in Southern and Central Ontario, Canada (2022) - Forecasts of increased frequency of meteorological extremes have received considerable attention due to their potential impact on the integrity of biotic communities, stability of terrestrial and aquatic environments, availability of ecosystem services, and broader societal prosperity. Canada is projected to experience greater warming rates than many other regions of the world and changes in meteorological extremes are predicted to be variable across the country. In this context, this paper evaluates the long-term trends of extreme meteorological variables (air and dew point temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, and precipitation) in southern and central Ontario (from 42°N to 50°N), while considering the role dynamics of large-scale atmospheric oscillations (El Niño–Southern Oscillation, North Atlantic Oscillation, Arctic Oscillation, and Pacific Decadal Oscillation).
