This table lists six key industries in the 1AM Canada Territory. Provinces where over 10% of 1AM members work in the industry are highlighted along with the total percentage of members in that industry (e.g. 69% of 1AM members in Quebec work in Air Transportation). The table further highlights the climate change risks in those provinces, and the climate change impacts on key industries in those areas.

Data sources: The data presented in this table is derived from multiple authoritative sources, including Government of Canada reports on climate change impacts across various regions of Canada (Lu/ham et al., 2023; Hancock er al., 2022; Sauchyn er al., 2020; Douglas & Pearson, 2022; Dietz & Arnold, 2021) and peer-reviewed research on climate vulnerability in Arctic transportation (Debortoli et al., 2019). Industry representation percentages were provided by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (1AM) in 2024.
