CSIS spells out several concerns presented by global warming, ranging from looming dangers to Arctic, coastal and border security to serious pressures on food and water supplies

OTTAWA — Canada's spy service warns that climate change poses a profound, ongoing threat to national security and prosperity, including the possible loss of parts of British Columbia and the Atlantic provinces to rising sea levels.

A senior CSIS official flagged the service's interest in tracking the fallout from climate shifts at a security conference in November 2021, saying the agency must continue to anticipate "the next threat" in order to support other government players. Rising waters could cause irretrievable loss of infrastructure and even whole communities along coastlines, CSIS warns. "For example, modelling shows the potential loss of significant parts of British Columbia and the Atlantic provinces to rising sea levels and flooding."

— Arable land will be lost to pollution, human use and desertification, putting more stress on agricultural resources; The shift toward renewable or more efficient energy sources will have national economic implications against a broader backdrop of global dynamics, CSIS predicts.
