Climate Change Adaptation: Linkages with Social Policy
This 2010 report, produced by ACT for the Policy Research Initiative (PRI), constitutes a general scan of current literature from around the world, including adaptation plans and actions in progress by all levels of government.
The scan is intended to provide an overview of approaches, guidelines, tools, and policy options being employed to adapt to climate change to better understand the implications of climate changes for different areas of social policy, and the resulting linkages. Referencing studies on climate change impacts and adaptation in Canada, as well as those that address the linkages between social policy and climate change impacts internationally, the report presents an organized scan of which social policy areas could be affected by changes in the climate, and how this may occur.
