Forest vulnerability to climate change is composed of three components: “exposure” refers to the magnitude of environmental change, “sensitivity” defines the degree to which a species is likely to be affected by (or respond to) climate change, and “adaptive capacity” describes the species capacity to cope with the expected changes through acclimation or adaptation. This 2-part webinar series will describe recent advances in the quantification of these three vulnerability components in Canadian forests and will discuss their implication in developing “climate friendly” silvicultural practices.
In this presentation, Dr. Sylvie Gauthier from the Canadian Forest Services (CFS) will describe two products of the Canadian Forest Service (CFS) Forest Change Project. These products aim to increase awareness of on-going climate-induced changes and to inform decision-making for adaptation of the forest sector.

FACoP Webinar February 16, 2021 | Impacts des changements climatiques sur la forêt et le secteur forestier au Québec
In this webinar, learn how might climate change affect forest growth and what can we do about it?
Climate adaptation capacity-building in Canada requires innovative approaches through education, training and networks (e.g., communities of practice, innovation accelerators, etc.) in order to produce and sustain skilled workers and support the emergence of new approaches and actions.
