In addition, the amount of uninsured economic losses resulting from climate disasters have increased. Impacts on Canadian homeowners and renters can range from financial losses, forced relocations, injury, and death. The outcome of these events can be greater financial and housing precarity, particularly for households already experiencing vulnerability.
