🧵Canada needs to get better at responding to climate-fuelled wildfires. But we also need to reduce wildfire risk before it becomes a disaster. A new Senate Committee report outlines how the catastrophic effects are harming lives, communities, and critical economic sectors.⬇️

The report’s top recommendations focus mostly on response and recovery: a federal wildfire office, more firefighting aircraft, evacuation/mental health supports, rebuilding funds, and firefighter training. All are needed. But response and recovery are not enough.

While the report nods to risk reduction—hazard maps, Indigenous-led cultural burning, FireSmart, building codes—it understates the scale required. It also misses a key point: new housing should be steered away from wildfire risk. 👇 climateinstitute.ca/reports/…

In 2020, EVs made up just 4% of all car sales globally.
