Description:
'Canada in a Changing Climate: Sector Perspectives on Impacts and Adaptation' is a 2014 update to the 2008 science assessment report, 'From Impacts to Adaptation: Canada in a Changing Climate'. During this time period, our understanding of climate change impacts and adaptation in Canada has increased, both as a result of new research and through practical experience. Led by Natural Resources Canada, the development of this report involved over 90 authors and 115 expert reviewers, and synthesized over 1500 recent publications.
