Condition of the environment reporting

Alberta’s Environmental Science Program provides the public with information indicators that convey trends in the condition of Alberta’s air, climate, fish, wildlife, plants, land, wetlands and water. Condition of the environment reporting in these areas delivers information to the public in a plain-language, easy-to-access online format.

Work is underway to provide indicator results for climate, fish and wildlife, and plants, land and wetlands – these will be added to the indicator sections below when available.
