Book Description
Canada’s Top Climate Change Risks identifies the top risk areas based on the extent and likelihood of the potential damage, and rates the risk areas according to society’s ability to adapt and reduce negative outcomes. These 12 major areas of risk are: agriculture and food, coastal communities, ecosystems, fisheries, forestry, geopolitical dynamics, governance and capacity, human health and wellness, Indigenous ways of life, northern communities, physical infrastructure, and water. The report describes an approach to inform federal risk prioritization and adaptation responses. The Panel outlines a multi-layered method of prioritizing adaptation measures based on an understanding of the risk, adaptation potential, and federal roles and responsibilities.

Book Description
This report provides an overview of research in the field of climate change impacts & adaptation over the past five years as it relates to Canada. It begins with a chapter that introduces key concepts in climate change impacts & adaptation research, and discusses current directions in understanding vulnerability, scenarios, and costing. This is followed by seven chapters that each focus on sectors of key importance to Canada: water resources, agriculture, forestry, coastal zone, fisheries, transportation, and human health & well-being. For each sector, the report reviews the potential impacts of climate change along with options available for Canadians to adapt to those impacts. Knowledge gaps and research needs are also identified.

Book Description
This study provides "another important piece of knowledge on how climate change could impact our communities across the country. Not only does it alert Canadians to what scientists expect will happen, it suggests ways in which Canadians can adapt to change climate. The Study also provides a critical perspective for charting Canada's future. The Canada Study helps us understand how to capitalize on economic opportunities and enhance our social well-being as we face this challenge."

Book Description
"Changes in climate are nothing new to our planet. From our own experiences here in Canada, we know that one summer is often warmer than another, or one winter is colder or snowier than another. Such differences are normal and related to changes in ocean currents or sea-surface temperatures, volcanic eruptions, alterations in the sun's heat, or other features of the climate system"--Introduction, page 3.

Book Description
Drought, floods, hurricanes, forest fires, ice storms, blackouts, dwindling fish stocks...what Canadian has not experienced one of these or more, or heard about the “greenhouse” effect, and not wondered what is happening to our climate? Yet most of us have a poor understanding of this extremely important issue, and need better, reliable scientific information. Hard Choices: Climate Change in Canada delivers some hard facts to help us make some of those hard choices. This new collection of essays by leading Canadian scientists, engineers, social scientists, and humanists offers an overview and assessment of climate change and its impacts on Canada from physical, social, technological, economic, political, and ethical / religious perspectives. Interpreting and summarizing the large and complex literatures from each of these disciplines, the book offers a multidisciplinary approach to the challenges we face in Canada. Special attention is given to Canada’s response to the Kyoto Protocol, as well as an assessment of the overall adequacy of Kyoto as a response to the global challenge of climate change. Hard Choices fills a gap in available books which provide readers with reliable information on climate change and its impacts that are specific to Canada. While written for the general reader, it is also well suited for use as an undergraduate text in environmental studies courses.
