Climate Change in Canadian Environmental Assessment Legislation: Review and Recommendations for Further Consideration of Greenhouse Gas Emissions
(2018-12-03)Climate change is the most urgent crisis of our time, as reflected in international agreements like the recent Paris Agreement. State members must now integrate climate change considerations into domestic legislation to ... -
Climate Change in Ecuador's Coastal Communities and Mangrove Ecosystems: Local Knowledge, Perceptions, and Priorities
(2010-12-17)Coastal communities in Ecuador – and worldwide – are vulnerable to climate change due to both marine and inland pressures. Studies predict that climatic changes will impact strongly on coastal zones, with particularly ... -
Climate change risk assessment for a confined, small-island aquifer off Prince Edward Island, Canada
(2022-06-28)Aquifers on small islands are at risk of salinization due to the low topographies and small freshwater volumes, and present-day risks are expected to be exacerbated under projected climate change. To date, most studies ... -
CLIMATE SENSITIVITIES OF POLYTHERMAL ICE SHEET, ICE CAP, AND ALPINE ICE DYNAMICS AND RELATED EPISODIC EROSION ON CUMBERLAND PENINSULA, BAFFIN ISLAND, NUNAVUT
(2016-04-29)The sensitivity of glaciers to climate and the resulting landscape changes has not been fully evaluated because of difficulties in extracting records of glacial advance, comparing sensitivities of different glacier types ... -
CLIMATE-CHANGE VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT FOR SELECTED SPECIES IN THREE NATIONAL PARKS IN EASTERN CANADA
(2015-04-06)Canadian protected areas have been established with a premise of static distributions of different ecosystems, an assumption invalidated by climate change. In the Maritimes, there are few local case studies on how to ... -
Climate-Induced Species Range Projections and the Consequences for Ecosystem Functioning in Canada’s Maritime Region Marine Conservation Network
(2024-02-12)Ensuring the conservation and sustainability of marine ecosystems and the continued provision of ecosystem services are key goals of Canada’s framework for its protected seascape sites. With rapid climate change however, ... -
