Adapting sustainable forest management to climate change : an overview of approaches for assessing human adaptive capacity  : Fo79-11/2013E-PDF

Cover image

Enough is now known about climate change to conclude that it will increase the adaptability requirements of the Canadian forest sector. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has defined adaptive capacity as “The ability of a system to adjust to climate change (including climate variability and extremes) to moderate potential damages, to take advantage of opportunities, or to cope with the consequences.” This report presents an overview of assessment techniques, concepts, and approaches for describing and analyzing human adaptive capacity, and some general high-level options for enhancing it.
