Durham Region Climate Change Modeling (DRCCM)

projections across their watersheds and lower tier municipalities. Leveraging previous modeling that was completed five years ago, they have established a suite of climate variables they would like to update based on the latest science, and hope to access existing regional climate model outputs through online portals or academic experts and undertake post-processing and analysis (in other words – they do not plan to undertake new primary modeling). The Region is highly interested in establishing a clear and plain language approach towards obtaining and assessing climate conditions in the form of a guidance document alongside their updated climate projections. In this regard, they hope to share the developed methodology with other municipalities in Southern Ontario to promote best practices and consistency.
