Planning for Rural Resilience - Coping With Climate Change and Energy Futures

Klappentext Climate change and an evolving non-renewable energy sector threaten the future viability and sustainability of communities across Canada. Rural Resilience makes clear that communities and municipalities have opportunities to make informed and constructive decisions in the face of uncertainty. Case studies include a town rebuilding itself after a tornado and an individual farmer's commitment to creating a resilient farm. Zusammenfassung Planning for Rural Resilience asks central questions about the nature of change and the ability to adapt in rural regions. While change is often feared! communities have capacity that can be rallied! harnessed! and turned towards planning policy and action that responds to threats to the future.
