C-CIARN 'State-of-Play' Reports

In the last year of C-CIARN's mandate (July 2006-June 2007), each C-CIARN office was asked to write a report summarizing their perspectives on the state of climate change impacts and adaptation within their region or sector.

The resulting "State-of-Play" reports identify, from the point-of-view of C-CIARN, the key climate change impacts, as well as the key stakeholders and adaptation decision- makers (including how these stakeholders/decision-makers were most successfully engaged) of each representative region and sector of Canada. The reports also include a description of the important research questions which, from the perspective of C-CIARN, need to be answered, as well as the steps that need to be taken to both increase the level of engagement on the issue and to facilitate the decision-making that is needed to reduce vulnerability, across Canada, to the impacts of climate change.

It is anticipated that the "State-of-Play" reports will serve as a valuable point of reference for climate change impacts and adaptation initiatives carried out across Canada, post-C-CIARN.
