Circumpolar Climate Change Summit and Exposition -- Proceedings

Proceedings of the Circumpolar Climate Change Summit and Exposition have been published in a special edition of The Northern Review. The proceedings include a summary report prepared by Infolink Consultants Inc., and submissions that complement this special edition and address the main conference themes.

The Northern Review, a multi-disciplinary journal of northern issues, is the only scholarly journal published North of 60 in Canada. Since 1988, it has published over fifty literary pieces, more than 130 papers, including conference proceedings, in both general and special thematic issues, in the arts, social sciences and humanities. The papers have covered a broad range of circumpolar human issues and topics.


Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation in Northern Canada, 1997-2000

The purpose of this report is to provide a summary of research on Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation in northern Canada between 1997 and 2000. It was produced by David Malcolm for C-CIARN North.


An Exploration of Potential Directions for Climate Change Policy in Northern Canada

If Northerners are to cope effectively with the potential impacts of climate change it is important that more precise understandings be achieved, of what may happen (and what is already beginning to happen), as well as actions of a precautionary nature that can be taken now, and what actions will likely be required in the longer term. This document provides information, suggestions and a possible framework for developing integrated climate change policy options and implementing measures for Northern Canada.


Background Document to Climate Change Policy Options in Northern Canada

Climate change is a global issue whose cause, and ultimate resolution rests at the local level. Despite the relatively small contribution to global climate change made by residents of Northern Canada, scientists project changes in average annual temperatures to be among the highest in the world. Northerners must address and understand what may happen and what they can do now, and in the future. This document provides a preliminary overview of documents relevant to climate change in Northern Canada. It is intended to function as a resource to researchers, policy analysts and government officials developing policy options and implementing programs for Northern Canada.
