Background:

Climate Change - Impacts and Adaptation
The Government of Canada's Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation Program provides funding for research and activities to improve our knowledge of Canada’s vulnerability to climate change, to better assess the risks and benefits posed by climate change and to build the foundation upon which appropriate decisions on adaptation can be made. The Program also facilitates interaction between stakeholders and researchers through support of the Canadian Climate Impacts and Adaptation Research Network (C-CIARN).

Report: Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation: A Canadian Perspective
provides a review of the recent Canadian impacts and adaptation research (post-1997) and also highlights results from research funded by the Impacts and Adaptation component of the Climate Change Action Fund. The report provides information on various sectors such as water resources, agriculture, forestry, fisheries, coastal zone and health, as well as general information on impacts and adaptation, advances in research techniques and the remaining knowledge gaps.
Sector-specific chapters will be posted on this web site over the next few months. The final report will be available early in 2003.
