Canadians are incredibly fortunate that our country will be well positioned against climate change compared to the vast majority of the world. However, large areas of Asia and Africa will experience overwhelming heat and aridity due to climate change over the coming decades. There are billions of people living in these tropical countries, who will seek a new home out of necessity. Consequently, Canada must prepare herself to accommodate a significant percentage of these climate refugees. It is quite feasible that this number could be several hundred million by the end of the century.
