Book Synopsis Adapting to Climate Variability and Change in Ontario by : Jamie Vernon Smith
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.
Book Synopsis Arctic Climate Impact Assessment - Scientific Report by : Arctic Climate Impact Assessment
Download or read book Arctic Climate Impact Assessment - Scientific Report written by Arctic Climate Impact Assessment and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-11-07 with total page 1053 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Arctic is now experiencing some of the most rapid and severe climate change on earth. Over the next 100 years, climate change is expected to accelerate, contributing to major physical, ecological, social, and economic changes, many of which have already begun. Changes in arctic climate will also affect the rest of the world through increased global warming and rising sea levels. Arctic Climate Impact Assessment was prepared by an international team of over 300 scientists, experts, and knowledgeable members of indigenous communities. The report has been thoroughly researched, is fully referenced, and provides the first comprehensive evaluation of arctic climate change, changes in ultraviolet radiation and their impacts for the region and for the world. It is illustrated in full color throughout. The results provided the scientific foundations for the ACIA synthesis report - Impacts of a Warming Arctic - published by Cambridge University Press in 2004.
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.

Download or read book Sharing Our Success written by David Bell and published by SAEE. This book was released on 2004 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The disturbing educational success rates for Aboriginal students in comparison with their peers have been documented for many years. Reducing this persistent achievement gap is one of Canada's most pressing educational challenges. Numerous reports commissioned by federal and provincial governments and Aboriginal authorities have offered detailed examinations of the complex social, economic, linguistic, and cultural interrelationships that contextualize the educational environments of Aboriginal students. Many of their families struggle with the legacy of residential schools that ripped families apart and caused immeasurable damage to the social fabric. Schools serving these communities work within a context that may include poverty, learned helplessness, despair, and high levels of abuse, addictions and violence. For some communities, student suicide rates may exceed graduation rates. Yet despite many extraordinary challenges, some schools are producing tangible progress for their Aboriginal students. This report springs from a study of ten such schools in an effort to identify practices that appear to contribute to their success.

Book excerpt: L'Étude pan-canadienne (ÉPC) sur l'adaptation à la variabilité et au changement climatiques est une évaluation nationale des répercussions possibles du changement et de la variabilité climatiques sur l'ensemble du Canada, accompagnée d'une description des mesures que l'on prend actuellement ou que l'on pourrait prendre à cet égard. La première étape de l'ÉPC a été de procéder à une analyse de la documentation scientifique et technique existante au moyen de 26 études commandées. Les résultats de cette première évaluation sont publiés en huit tomes : six tomes régionaux (Arctique, Atlantique, Ontario, Pacifique et Yukon, Prairies et Québec), un tome sectoriel national composé de 12 documents (agriculture, milieu bâti, énergie, pêcheries, foresterie, santé humaine, assurances. loisirs et tourisme, transport, écosystèmes naturels, ressources en eau, et terres humides) et un tome sur les questions intersectorielles composé de huit documents de vulgarisation, un pour chaque région et un de portée nationale.
