This book was released on 1997 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tout au long de document, un effort particulier a été consacré à bien positionner la problématique du changement climatique dans un contexte québécois en faisant toujours référence à des événements climatiques passés et présents, déjà observés et parfois documentés, afin de nous faire réaliser l'ampleur, le spectre et l'importance de leurs répercussions au Québec. Cette étude consiste en une évaluation de notre connaissance des répercussions de la variabilité et du changement climatique au Québec. À cet objectif premier s'ajoute une volonté d'élaborer les éléments premiers de ce qui constitueraient des mesures d'adaptation à la variabilité et au changement climatiques qui soient adéquates et pertinentes.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report provides an overview of research in the field of climate change impacts & adaptation over the past five years as it relates to Canada. It begins with a chapter that introduces key concepts in climate change impacts & adaptation research, and discusses current directions in understanding vulnerability, scenarios, and costing. This is followed by seven chapters that each focus on sectors of key importance to Canada: water resources, agriculture, forestry, coastal zone, fisheries, transportation, and human health & well-being. For each sector, the report reviews the potential impacts of climate change along with options available for Canadians to adapt to those impacts. Knowledge gaps and research needs are also identified.

Download or read book Societal Adaptation to Climate Variability and Change written by Sally M. Kane and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2000-05-31 with total page 840 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Changes in climate and climate variability have an effect on people's behaviour around the world, and public institutions have an important part to play in influencing our ability to respond to and plan for climate risk. We may be able to reduce climate risk by seeking to mitigate the threat on the one hand, and by adapting to a changed climate on the other. Another theme of the book is the integrated role of adaptation and mitigation in framing issues and performing analyses. Adaptation costs fall most heavily on the poor and special attention needs to be paid to adaptation by the poorest populations. An integrating framework is also presented to provide the context for an expansive typology of terms to apply to adaptation. The 12 papers collected here use methods from a variety of disciplines and focus on different time frames for decision making, from short term to the very long term. Readership: Technically trained readers familiar with the policy issues surrounding climate change and interested in learning the scientific underpinnings of issues related to societal adaptation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Changes in climate are nothing new to our planet. From our own experiences here in Canada, we know that one summer is often warmer than another, or one winter is colder or snowier than another. Such differences are normal and related to changes in ocean currents or sea-surface temperatures, volcanic eruptions, alterations in the sun's heat, or other features of the climate system"--Introduction, page 3.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "From Impacts to Adaptation: Canada in a Changing Climate 2007 reflects the advances made in understanding Canada's vulnerability to climate change during the past decade. Through a primarily regional approach, this assessment discusses current and future risks and opportunities that climate change presents to Canada, with a focus on human and managed systems. It is based on a critical analysis of existing knowledge, drawn from the published scientific and technical literature and from expert knowledge. The current state of understanding is presented, and key knowledge gaps are identified. Advances in understanding adaptation, as well as examples of recent and ongoing adaptation initiatives, are highlighted throughout the report."--Pub. desc.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book provides a concise and interdisciplinary outlook on the impacts of climate change on coastal areas and how coastal communities adapt to them. The first chapter analyses how sea level rise, changing ocean conditions, or increased climate variability and the socio-environmental context of the coastal zone leads to vulnerable communities. The second chapter addresses adaptation strategies and tools, and gives some examples of their application around the world. The third chapter describes participative action research projects undertaken in New Brunswick and how this community based approach has enabled communities to increase their climate resilience.

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 Atlantic Canada most likely to undergo significant changes. Chapter 1 describes the physical, historical/cultural, and socio-economic resources of the region. Chapter 2 details current climatic conditions in Atlantic Canada, including variability and recent trends. Chapter 3 reviews the impacts of the current climate on the following: fisheries and plankton, the coastal zone, ecosystem science and water resources, agriculture, forestry, and the economy. Chapter 4 outlines measures that could be undertaken to adapt to climate change in the fishery, the coastal zone, agriculture, and forestry. The final chapter summarizes knowledge gaps and research priorities in such areas as climatological monitoring and modelling, climate change impacts, and socio-economic issues.

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.
