Book Synopsis Responding to Global Climate Change in the Prairies by : R. Herrington
Download or read book Responding to Global Climate Change in the Prairies written by R. Herrington and published by Adaptation and Impacts Section Environment Canada P D Northe. This book was released on 1997 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the impacts on the Prairie Provinces of climatic changes, and the possible adaptations or responses to those changes. It focuses on eight key climate-sensitive areas or sectors selected for analysis: agriculture, forestry, energy resources, insurance, recreation/tourism, water supply and demand, aquatic ecosystems, and wildlife/biodiversity. The first two chapters set out the regional context, with information on geography, population, economics, and climate. The next three chapters review regional climate sensitivities, impacts of climate change, and adaptation to climate for each of the areas or sectors. The final chapter suggests opportunities for further research. The appendix includes a summary of knowledge of proxy records of post-glacial climate in the Prairie Provinces.
Book Synopsis Farming in a Changing Climate by : Ellen Wall
Download or read book Farming in a Changing Climate written by Ellen Wall and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In farming systems across Canada, effective risk management is necessary to deal with drought, flooding, and extreme weather, and to adapt to altered climate and weather conditions. Unfortunately, climate change risks and opportunities are not always well understood among researchers and policy makers in the Canadian agri-food sector. This book addresses that gap by providing a wide-ranging synopsis of what climate change means for Canadian agriculture, exploring different approaches to the topic, and presenting examples of current research. It covers all agricultural regions and a wide variety of commodity production and farming systems. This comprehensive survey synthesizes twenty years of research on climate change and Canadian agriculture.

Book Synopsis Climate Change and World Agriculture by : Martin L. Parry
Download or read book Climate Change and World Agriculture written by Martin L. Parry and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-10-29 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1990, this book analysed the sensitivity of the world food system and looked at the variety of ways in which it would be affected by climate change. It describes the effects of climate change on agriculture, estimates the impacts on plant and animal growth and looks at the geographical limits to different types of farming. It also considers the range of possible ways to adapt agriculture and so to mitigate the disastrous consequences of climate change.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Climate change could have significant economic impacts in regional economies. This dissertation has presented a comprehensive analysis of economic impacts assessment of climate change in both forest and agriculture sectors in Canada and by extension, US and rest of the world using computable general equilibrium (CGE) analysis. Specific contributions include: (i) estimating the potential economic impacts of climate change on Canada’s forests using single-region levels specification CGE models, and cost effectiveness of implementing adaptation strategies to mitigate the impacts; (ii) assessing long-term economy-wide economic impacts of climate change on forestry sector across Canada’s provinces and the territories, and potential differences associated with using single-region as opposed to multi-regional CGE modeling framework; (iii) assessing long-term economy-wide economic impacts of climate change on agricultural crop production across Canada’s provinces and the territories, and extent of regional aggregation differences using two global multi-regional CGE models; (iv) investigating the extent and nature of potential interactions of economic impacts of climate change between agriculture and forestry sectors in a simultaneous CGE modeling analysis. Key findings of these analyses include the following: (i) the physical and economic impacts of climate change in Canadian forests may be substantial and varied across Canada's regions, and adaptation activities to climate change could be supported on economic grounds ; (ii) that single-region CGE models produce more conservative economic impact estimates relative to a multi-regional model, (iii) regional disaggregation tended to better capture individual regional uniqueness in terms of economic size, structure, and trade patterns; and (iv) individual and additive sector analyses produced economic impact estimates that were often overly pessimistic (i.e., less positive or more negative) relative to those produced by the preferred, simultaneous sector analysis. The results of this study have greatly enhanced understanding of the various aspects of economic impacts of climate change in both agriculture and forest sectors. The knowledge generated from this research will help governments and their agencies, policy makers, and researchers working on climate change impact assessments using CGE models make more informed decisions as they strive to mitigate climate change impacts at various levels."-- Pages ii-iii.
Book Synopsis Indicators of adaptive capacity to climate change for agriculture in the Prairie Region of Canada by :
Download or read book Indicators of adaptive capacity to climate change for agriculture in the Prairie Region of Canada written by and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the Prairie region being home to 80 per cent of all farms and total farm area in Canada, and acknowledging that the Prairie agricultural region is historically a drought-sensitive area, the adaptive capacity of Prairie agriculture to future climate variability and longer-term change is of fundamental importance to the Prairie Provinces and to Canada. [...] A valuable array of existing socio-economic and environmental data is leveraged to: advance our understanding of the vulnerability and adaptive capacity of Prairie agriculture to climate variability and longer-term change; guide the selection of sites for farm-level study of successful adaptive behaviours; identify the types of policy interventions that support farm- and community-level adap [...] Precipitation variability can be a useful indicator of the extent to which an area is prone to drought, with the coefficient of variation (the ratio of the standard deviation to the mean) being the most stable measure of precipitation variability (Longley, 1952 in Maybank et al., 1995). [...] Section 4 presents the results of the adaptive-capacity analysis for each of the Census Divisions across the Prairie agricultural region, first, examining the individual determinants of adaptive capacity and, second, examining Census Divisions exhibiting the highest and lowest adaptive capacity across the Prairies. [...] The more exposed a system is to a particular climate stimulus, the greater the system vulnerability; conversely, the greater the adaptive capacity of the system to a given climate event, the lower its vulnerability.
