Led by J.M. Waddington, this consortium looks at changing ecological and physical conditions in the boreal forests of Canada through a social-ecological systems lens, in order to better understand the risks and liabilities associated with climate change. Although the initial stages are regional, boreal forest associations occur across the globe and impacts of these changes are international in their reach.

Impact

Better practices, policies and regulations for development in the boreal forest, enhanced community resilience and greater sustainability in the face of climate stress.

Student Experience

HQP will be trained in large numbers across the project sites.
