Download or read book Adapting to Climate Variability and Change in Ontario written by Jamie Vernon Smith and published by [Downsview, Ont.] : Environment Canada, Ontario Region. This book was released on 1998 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report summarizes the most recent literature describing the impacts of current climate and the potential effects of anticipated climate change on the environment and on those social and economic sectors in Ontario most likely to undergo significant changes. After the introduction, chapter 2 describes the physical and socio-economic resources of Ontario. Chapter 3 details current climatic conditions in the province, including variability and recent trends. Chapter 4 reviews the impacts of the current climate on the following sectors: water resources, human and ecosystem health, the built environment, and industries such as energy, transportation, tourism and recreation, agriculture, forestry, construction, and finance. This chapter also examines the relationship between climate and regional air issues. Chapter 5 surveys future climate scenarios and assesses the impacts and opportunities arising from these scenarios for the same sectors addressed in chapter 4. Chapter 6 reviews the research and application of adaptive measures in five areas: water resources, human and ecosystem health, the built environment, industry, and regional air issues. The chapter also reviews Ontario's adaptation capacity with respect to these sectors. The final chapter summarizes knowledge gaps and research priorities for Ontario in the areas of climate variability and change, impacts and adaptation.

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 Responding to Global Climate Change in Canada's Arctic by : Barrie Maxwell
Download or read book Responding to Global Climate Change in Canada's Arctic written by Barrie Maxwell and published by Downsview, Ont. : Environment Canada. This book was released on 1997 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume describes current understanding of the impacts that climate change and variability will have on all aspects of the Northwest Territories/Nunavut physical & biological environment and its socio-economic activities, and of existing or potential adaptation options. The initial sections review the region's socio-economic context, ecozones, and climate, and describe various scenarios of climate change as determined from global climate change models. Section D assesses impacts of and adaptation to climate change in the physical environment (hydrology, permafrost, sea ice, sea level & coastal processes, freshwater ice), in terrestrial & marine ecosystems, and in such socio-economic sectors as oil & gas, transportation, construction, tourism, forestry, and fisheries. The final section discusses opportunities for further research.
Book Synopsis National Cross-cutting Issues Volume by : Nicola Mayer
Download or read book National Cross-cutting Issues Volume written by Nicola Mayer and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 652 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains eight papers on cross-cutting national issues related to global climate change. The first synthesizes current knowledge on two categories of costs associated with climate change: the costs of adapting to those changes that are not avoided by mitigation, and the costs of the residual impacts after adaptation. The second paper discusses the impact of climate change on natural hazards, adaptation, and their costs. This is followed by presentation of the case for integrated assessments of air issues: climate change, stratospheric ozone depletion, acid deposition, smog, suspended particulates, and hazardous air pollutants. The fourth paper examines the effect of climate change outside Canada on Canadian interests, specifically in the areas of international trade, food and military security, and refugees. Paper five reviews the literature on domestic flows of goods and services in Canada as related to climate change. The sixth paper reviews patterns of changing climate and effects of climate change on landscapes, as driven by shifting ranges and ecozones, hydrological changes, permafrost melting, and rising sea levels. Paper seven explores the consequences of climate change and sustainable development remaining as separate discourses, noting the need for climate change and sustainable development to be represented in a more explicit manner in each other's research agendas. The final paper focuses on the land-based economy of Canada's northern indigenous peoples and how climate change may effect them.
