Climate change is significantly impacting Newfoundland and Labrador, leading to more frequent and severe extreme weather events. Wildfires have become more intense and destructive, with one incident destroying over 200 structures. Hurricane Fiona, though a post-tropical storm upon landfall, caused extensive damage to infrastructure and coastal communities. The Insurance Bureau of Canada reported a near tripling of insured losses from catastrophic weather events and wildfires between 2016 and 2025, amounting to $37 billion.
