| Abstract | (Summary)
The Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation Division (CCIAD) at Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) contracted Environics Research, with its partners Dr. Robin Cox and ESSA Technologies,
to produce a stateof- play report on capacity building for climate change adaptation. The objectives of this study were to provide NRCan and key stakeholders1 with: - A high-level common understanding of the current state of climate change adaptation
capacity building and skills development in Canada, including current drivers and barriers; - Information to inform a path forward on what is needed to strengthen the climate change adaptation system across the country, with a focus on the next five
years (2022-2027); and - A set of real-world examples (case studies) that demonstrate how sectors, organizations and associations are making progress to better equip the current and future workforce, decisionmakers and industry members with the
knowledge and skills needed to take adaptation action. The Project was conducted in three phases 1) literature review, 2) stakeholder engagement and 3) case study development. |
| Summary | (Plain Language Summary, not published)
This report presents the findings of research done by Environics Research as contracted by Natural Resources Canada, to better understand the drivers and
barriers for climate change adaptation capacity-building, and where gaps still exist for workforce skills and competencies in Canada. This research was carried out through literature review, interviews and engagement sessions. The report includes
case studies for examples of successful capacity building initiatives, and also offers recommendations to accelerate adaptation capacity-building and skills development. |
