Book excerpt: "People living in Canada are already witnessing and experiencing devastating impacts of climate change. Canada's climate is warming two times faster than the global average, and three times faster in the North. Across the country, the impacts of climate change are already affecting our communities, economy and environment. The National Adaptation Strategy is an opportunity to establish a clear framework for action to achieve climate resilience. This discussion paper allows us to hear from you and people across Canada about what you think should be the priority actions over the next five years to prepare for climate change. This will inform the outcome of the National Adaptation Strategy which will be released by the end of the year. The proposed principles and objectives in this discussion paper represent the result of conversations to date with experts, government officials, and Indigenous representatives"--Overview, page 1.

This book was released on 2019-07-04 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 excerpt: Climate change is the challenge of our generation. And the transition to a low-carbon economy is also one of our greatest opportunities. Bold and ambitious action is needed to address the scale of climate change. Countries around the world are making strong commitments to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the coming decades, with many, including Canada, committing to net-zero emissions by 2050. Taking climate change action now will not only put us on a path to meeting the temperature goals of the Paris agreement by achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 but will also make our economy stronger andmore competitive. This is the chance to transform our economy to take advantage of new markets, new supply chains and new opportunities for economic growth and job creation. To seize these opportunities, we need to build on the agility and resilience of Canada's workforce so that it is equipped with the range of skills required to deliver on this ambition. Canadians want secure, well-paid jobs and careers that will carry them through from tomorrow to 2030, 2040 and beyond. The transition to a cleaner future will bring new, dynamic opportunities across our labour force but also some challenges for those that will need to pivot to new jobs. The Government of Canada also recognizes that the transition will have varying impacts across the country, between regions, sectors and demographics. Consequently, the government is taking action to consult early on, and often, with Canadians to ensure that workers and communities can succeed and thrive in the low-carbon economy. Canada can meet this challenge -- Canadian workers and businesses have the expertise, determination and ingenuity needed to be world leaders in the global clean economy. The Government of Canada will partner with workers, communities, provinces and territories, Indigenous Peoples, businesses and stakeholders to create conditions for success. Canadians expect the government to take steps to make the low-carbon transition just and equitable and to ensure that people are the focus of these efforts. The Government of Canada is committed to supporting the future and livelihood of workers and their communities as the world moves toward a low-carbon future. This is why we are committed to developing legislation that could:  Include people-centred just transition principles that put workers and communities at thecentre of the government's policy and decision-making processes on climate change action. Establish an external Just Transition Advisory Body to provide the government with advice onregional and sectoral just transition strategies that support workers and communities. The purpose of this discussion paper is to seek feedback on the proposed just transition legislation.

Download or read book Can We Price Carbon written by Barry G. Rabe and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2018-04-06 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A political science analysis of the feasibility and sustainability of carbon pricing, drawing from North American, European, and Asian case studies. Climate change, economists generally agree, is best addressed by putting a price on the carbon content of fossil fuels—by taxing carbon, by cap-and-trade systems, or other methods. But what about the politics of carbon pricing? Do political realities render carbon pricing impracticable? In this book, Barry Rabe offers the first major political science analysis of the feasibility and sustainability of carbon pricing, drawing upon a series of real-world attempts to price carbon over the last two decades in North America, Europe, and Asia. Rabe asks whether these policies have proven politically viable and, if adopted, whether they survive political shifts and managerial challenges over time. The entire policy life cycle is examined, from adoption through advanced implementation, on a range of pricing policies including not only carbon taxes and cap-and-trade but also such alternative methods as taxing fossil fuel extraction. These case studies, Rabe argues, show that despite the considerable political difficulties, carbon pricing can be both feasible and durable.

Book excerpt: Debate about the soundness of scientific evidence regarding climate change has become a matter of urgency for Ontario legislators and the public. Assertions in the media that there is little scientific evidence for climate change, and that a go-slow or business-as-usual approach is therefore appropriate, are opposed by various points of view that urge speedy reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. This special report reviews the key scientific issues regarding climate change, and offers an opinion as to the strength of these arguments, in order to help Ontario policy-makers move to the next stage of the debate. The report focusses on the findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and also discusses the findings of the US National Research Council, which carried out an independent critique of the IPCC reports. The first part summarizes evidence of observed changes, such as rising greenhouse gas concentrations, rising global temperatures, retreating glaciers & snow cover, and long-term temperature trends. The second part discusses causes of these changes and the scientific debates about these causes. The final part reviews projections of future climate change. A technical appendix provides further details on the matters covered in each of the three parts.
