Mapping Natural Disasters in Canada

In Canada, climate change intensifies several natural disasters:

WHY DID WE CHOOSE THOSE NATURAL DISASTERS?

Floods, wildfires, heatwaves, and droughts are the most critical factors in climate change, as they trigger devastating feedback loops that worsen its impact. These disasters release massive carbon emissions, destroy natural carbon sinks like forests, and intensify extreme weather patterns. As global temperatures rise, these events become more frequent and severe, driving a cycle that accelerates warming. Ignoring the role of these disasters leaves communities vulnerable to increased environmental and economic harm, while limiting our ability to recover and adapt to the escalating climate crisis.

How does climate change effect gender inequality?

Although climate change exacerbates gender inequality and particularly affects women. Introducing restrictions on freedom of expression will reduce us to misled and binding hypocrites who are mute about the hundreds of thousands or millions of women who could face health hazards, economic harm, or increased caregiving work hours as a consequence of climate-related disasters like floods, wildfires, and heatwaves. They also have fewer resources and are often marginalized in climate policy, hampering their ability to recover and adapt.

Our model provides users with the ability to explore data from Canada and draw conclusions based on their specific inquiries. It functions as a form of “PLUG AND PLAY.” At the same time, you can input your own data from any region you are investigating, and evaluate the new visualizations, making our model EXTENDABLE. This flexibility allows for a more comprehensive and tailored analysis.

Database Table

Salary Inequality (%) Over Time: The first chart shows a steady reduction in salary inequality from 2000 to 2009.

The percentage that the female salary lags behind the male salaries started at around 22% in 2000 and dropped to 18% by 2009. This indicates an effective program addressing gender inequality in salaries over the years. The data available does not indicate weather climate change has or hasn’t slowed down the progress of shrinking income inequality in Canada. Data from other countries, as well as other indicators may display different results.

Violence Abuse (%) Over Time: The second chart highlights the trend of violence abuse as a percentage over the same period. From 2000 to 2003, the rate remains relatively stable at around 6.5%. In 2004, there is a sharp increase to approximately 7.5%, where it stays until 2007. Afterward, the rate drops back to 6.5% by 2009, indicating fluctuations in reported violence abuse during this time.

Natural Disasters Over Time: The third chart tracks three types of natural disasters from 2000 to 2009: major floods, major wildfires, and significant heatwaves. Major floods (in blue) show an overall increase, peaking in 2009. Major wildfires (in red) also rise, with notable peaks in 2003 and 2009. Significant heatwaves (in orange) remain lower but have occasional increases, particularly in 2003 and 2006. Overall, there is an upward trend in the frequency of natural disasters over the decade.

* The data presented in the diagrams above pertain to major recorded disasters. Regardless of the specific data, this model can be applied to other countries and continents, provided that new data is made available.
