Events have illustrated that both under-developed and developed countries can be overwhelmed by climatic events and that people living in Canada may be vulnerable to climate risks.

Through its commitment to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Canada regularly assesses the impacts of a changing climate, and identifies options for adapting to the changes.

Natural Resources Canada led a national assessment of climate change vulnerabilities entitled From Impacts to Adaptation: Canada in a Changing Climate 2007 which provides an overview of potential risks from a regional perspective.

The completed report consists of the following chapters:

Table of Contents:

• Introduction
• Assessment Methods
• Vulnerabilities to Natural Hazards and Extreme Weather
• Air Quality, Climate Change and Health
• Impacts of Climate Change on Water-, Food-, Vector- and Rodent-Borne Diseases
• Health Impacts of Climate Change in Quebec
• Health Impacts of Climate Change in Canada's North
• Vulnerabilities, Adaptation and Adaptive Capacity in Canada
• Conclusion
