As a destination for world-class research and learning, the Canadian Centre for Climate Change and Adaptation (CCCCA) at the University of Prince Edward Island will provide expertise and collaboration within a “living laboratory” setting. The Centre is a new initiative funded jointly by the Government of Canada, the Government of Prince Edward Island, and UPEI.
Completed in May 2022, the Centre’s 45,000 square-foot research facility can be found in beautiful St. Peters Bay, PEI. The building houses state-of-the-art research centres, including the internationally-recognized UPEI Climate Research Lab, as well as the UPEI School of Climate Change and Adaptation. The facility and the lands surrounding it will also serve as a living laboratory that allows for unlimited access to nearby wetlands, forests and coastal habitats directly affected by climate change.
The site will provide access to high-quality datasets, multidisciplinary research teams, outstanding graduate and postdoctoral fellows, and engaged industry, community, and government partners.
