    Climate Change

    Climate Change is a global problem, but a specific subset of its challenges are already affecting the Great Lakes Region.

  • Species Migration

    Species Migration

    Insects like the monarch butterfly are predicted to migrate north as temperatures rise across the Great Lakes region.

  • Crop Yields

    Crop Yields

    If climate change continues as predicted, corn and soybean yields in Great Lake states like Ohio and Indiana could decrease 20-30% by 2049 and 40-80% by 2090.

  • Forest Diversity

    Forest Diversity

    Changing precipitation and higher temperatures could change what types of trees grow in the Great Lakes region, potentially causing great losses to these states’ timber industries.

  • Rising Temperatures

    Rising Temperatures

    Rising temperatures and increased extreme rainfall events could increase water contamination through thousands of combined sewer systems in the region.

  • Droughts and Floods

    Droughts and Floods

    Climate Change will increase both droughts and floods in the Great Lakes region, severely affecting agriculture, an important industry in most Great Lakes states.

  • Drinking Water

    Drinking Water

    More than 11 million people rely on Lake Erie for their drinking water, putting them at risk for illness from contaminated water.
