520 |a"This project assessed the climate change vulnerability of 20 coastal wetlands along the Canadian shoreline of the Laurentian Great Lakes by combining the results of an analysis of Wetland Sensitivity (i.e., wetland vegetation response to climate change) with the results of an analysis of Adaptive Capacity (i.e., measuring the innate ability for a wetland to cope and adapt to climate change). Stakeholders and wetland managers can use the Vulnerability Index generated to identify, develop and prioritize adaptation strategies aimed at enhancing the resilience of GLCW ecological goods and services. The objective of this technical report was to operationalize the concept of Adaptive Capacity by developing and interpreting the results of a composite indicator (i.e., a weighted combination of variables). Adaptive Capacity cannot be directly measured, therefore to operationalize this metric, measurable natural and anthropogenic variables with a scientifically supported effect on wetland stability and plasticity were selected"--Executive summary, page 7.
