We are all responsible for taking care of our air. Nova Scotia Environment (NSE) strives to monitor and protect our outdoor air quality through regulations and programs to reduce pollutants that lead to issues like smog, acid rain, climate change, and the thinning ozone layer. Poor air quality can affect our health, lead to increased health care costs and also affect natural resources.

How will climate change impact Nova Scotia? Nova Scotia Environment and Climate Change regularly reviews the latest climate change data to understand what it means for our province. With implications that affect our communities, our environment, our health, our economy, and much more, it is important for Nova Scotians to have access to information on how the climate is changing so that we can make good decisions about how to respond and adapt.

The Province of Nova Scotia recognizes the importance of coastal waters, critical to the prosperity and sustainability of rural and coastal communities. To bridge the gap between science and decision making, the Nova Scotia Department of Fisheries and Aquaculture (NSDFA) partners with the Centre for Marine Applied Research (CMAR) to measure the environmental conditions of Nova Scotia’s coastal waters.

The world around us is changing rapidly and profoundly, creating both challenges and opportunities. When regions focus their economic development efforts on their natural strengths, they are much more successful in achieving growth that is both long lasting and inclusive.
