This study examines the impacts on the Prairie Provinces of climatic changes, and the possible adaptations or responses to those changes. It focuses on eight key climate-sensitive areas or sectors selected for analysis: agriculture, forestry, energy resources, insurance, recreation/tourism, water supply and demand, aquatic ecosystems, and wildlife/biodiversity. The first two chapters set out the regional context, with information on geography, population, economics, and climate. The next three chapters review regional climate sensitivities, impacts of climate change, and adaptation to climate for each of the areas or sectors. The final chapter suggests opportunities for further research. The appendix includes a summary of knowledge of proxy records of post-glacial climate in the Prairie Provinces.

Aboriginal Policy Research Moving Forward Making A Difference written by Jerry Patrick White and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2006 with Indians of North America categories.

The research and policy discussions included in Aboriginal Policy Research: Volumes 1 and 2, offer a portion of the original papers presented at the first Aboriginal Policy Research Conference held in Ottawa in 2002. Co-hosted by Indian and Northern Affairs and the University of Western Ontario, the conference promoted interaction between researchers, policy-makers, and Aboriginal peoples. It expanded on the knowledge of the social, economic, and demographic determinants of Aboriginal well-being, and it sought to identify and facilitate the means by which this knowledge may be translated into effective policies. The texts are divided into complementary themes. Volume 1 begins with contextual research, followed by issues of demography and well-being, and concludes with the topical issue of education. The chapters in Volume 2 address the themes of economic development; health; gender issues; and crime, victimization, and healing. Volume 3 and 4, offer a portion of the original papers presented at the second Aboriginal Policy Research Conference held in Ottawa in 2006. Co-chaired by Dan Beavon of Indian and Northern Affairs Canada, Jerry White of the University of Western Ontario, and Peter Dinsdale of the National Association of Friendship Centres, the conference promoted interaction between reasearchers, policy-makers, and Aboriginal peoples. Volume 3 begins with a look at education and employment transitions followed by issues of socio-economic well-being, and concludes with some international research. Volume 4 begins with a look at health and health care followed by issues of governance, and concludes with and examination of housing and homelessness. The fifth volume in the series derives from the proceedings of a pre-conference workshop on gender issues related to defining identity and Indian status (often referred to as Bill C-31). Indian and Northern Affairs Canada and Status of Women Canada joined forces to lead development on a full-day pre-conference workshop on March 19, 2006, that brought together historical, demographic and legal scholars, as well as First Nation community representatives. The book is divided into four sections. The first examines the historical dimension of Bill C-31, the second section looks at community impacts, the third at demographic impacts, while the concluding section examines legal issues and future directions. Papers in vols. 6, 7 and 8 presented at the third Aboriginal Policy Research Conference held in Ottawa, Ont., Mar. 9-12, 2009. Volume 7 is a collection of 10 papers is presented at the Aboriginal Research Policy Conference held in Ottawa in 2009. Volume 10 is a collection of 13 papers, focusing on issues surrounding voting, governance, and research methodology. Part one includes papers on Aboriginal involvement in federal elections, the link between taxation and good governance, and First Nations financial institutions. Part two includes papers on the Keewaytinook Okimakanak Research Institute and community-driven research in remote First Nations.
