Summary
In the coming decades, forest ecosystems will be exposed to a different climate than the one to which they are adapted. These changes in climate will have consequences on the ecological services provided by forests. The effects on forests, whether positive or negative, will be felt for several decades and will challenge forest-dependent activities. We need to prepare for this now.
As the manager of public forests and the organization in charge of developing private forests, the Ministère des Forêts, de la Faune et des Parcs (MFFP) is committed to adapting its practices to manage the risks associated with the current and anticipated consequences of climate change. To do so, the MFFP wishes to adopt a Climate Change Adaptation Strategy for Forest Management.
This strategy outlines the MFFP's action plan to adapt forest management practices to the effects of climate change. In partnership with Indigenous communities and forestry stakeholders, the Strategy will make it possible to develop knowledge on the effects of climate change and implement appropriate adaptation solutions, all from an adaptive risk management perspective
