Canada’s release of a climate change adaptation report has been stalled since fall 2007. The report highlights key issues for each region in Canada and outlines risks and opportunities for climate change adaptation.

The scientific report from Natural Resources Canada entitled From Impacts to Adaptation: Canada in a Changing Climate 2007 was scheduled to be released prior to the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Bali. Climate Action Network Canada is pressuring Natural Resource Minister Gary Lunn to make the report public.

“Could the Minister at least tell Canadians when the report will be released?” asked Graham Saul, Executive Director of CAN-RAC.

The report is intended to inform decision-making and policy development about how Canada can adapt to climate change. It describes Canada’s vulnerability to global warming and reflects scientific advances in understanding.

The report builds on the 2004 report, Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation: a Canadian Perspective and is the final product of the Canadian Climate Impacts and Adaptation Network (C-CIARN), who since their creation in 2001 completed over 130 research projects. The report compliments the Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the Arctic Climate Impacts Assessment.
