Integrated climate change adaptation to increase resilience in Canadian coastal communities / prepared by : Zuzek Inc., in association with Linda Mortsch, and Dr. Lawrence Hildebrand.: M4-253/2023E-PDF
"This study was commissioned to produce a review of opportunities and needs to implement integrated coastal climate change adaptation across four Canadian coasts – Atlantic, Pacific, Arctic and Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River. Relevant literature was reviewed, experts, primarily, from across Canada were interviewed, and selected case studies that focused on integration were summarized. The report highlights the necessary components and pathways for integrated coastal climate change adaptation. Gaps in the necessary drivers for integration will be highlighted and recommendations outlined to address these deficiencies. Given the focus on coastal communities and climate change, vulnerability and adaptation requirements for sea level rise, flooding, erosion, and ecosystem degradation were the focus of this review"--pages 2-3.
