Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Basin Project on Adapting to the Impacts of Climate Change and Variability

Book Description
There still is much uncertainty about the timing, the rate and the magnitude of climate change in the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Basin (GLSLB); yet concern for potential impacts remains. The GLSLB contains 20 percent of the world's fresh water and is home to over 42.5 million people. It is a region rich in human and natural resources, with diverse economic activities and complex infrastructures. Significant economic restructuring and environmental changes are underway. Governments, industries and other Basin interests will have the added complication of managing the multiple activities within the Basin under the exacerbating conditions of potential climate change. This challenge must be addressed: first through research, and then by applying the research to all levels of management within the Basin.
