Hi all,
I have received the link for the "Climate Change Adaptation Guidebook for Forest Based Communities" from NRCAN and figured I would pass along. "This guidebook is intended to empower residents of small forest-based communities to undertake a climate change vulnerability assessment for their community and surrounding forests.
Using the approaches, resources, and examples described in this guidebook will help Canadians understand which specific climate changes are predicted for their region, how those changes could affect the places and things valued by local people, and then develop a realistic plan to address the top priority potential impacts (positive or negative). The guidebook uses plain language, explains key concepts, and includes links to resources and examples from across Canada, so will hopefully reduce the need for small communities to hire an external facilitator to lead this type of assessment."
The links to the guidebook are:

Very best,
