Webinar: Quantifying the Adaptive Capacity of Tree Species and Implications for Silviculture
Recent evidence indicates that the migration rate of tree species will not be sufficient to follow their suitable climate under climate change scenarios. Accordingly, research interests now focus on the capacity of local tree populations to persist in place and cope with the expected environmental change in the next decades, i.e. their adaptive capacity. This webinar gives an overview of an approach to quantify the adaptive capacity of Canadian tree species based on four axes of adaptation.
Applying the IPCC 2014 framework for hazard-specific vulnerability assessment under climate change
This paper compares the framework of the IPCC AR4 (2007) to that outlined in IPCC AR5 (2014) and describes how the AR5 framework provides a more contextualised and operationalisable approach.
How to handle the climate change impacts of a 1.5C warmer world? Key insights from ecosystem- and community-based adaptation practice
Climate adaptation planning requires an integrated approach that can address different local needs, priorities and knowledges while being contextualised to wider landscapes or ecosystems and scales.
