2013 ADAPTool Application Strengthening Adaptive Capacity in Four Canadian Provinces: ADAPTool analysis of selected sectoral policies

The report synthesizes the results of applying the ADAPTool in British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Nova Scotia. It examines 27 policies across agriculture, forestry, water, and parks management to determine their ability to support adaptation measures and their general adaptability to future changes.

• The ADAPTool provides a structured assessment process to evaluate existing policies and programs against the characteristics of adaptive policies, specifically gauging their ability to support adaptation measures for target groups and their likelihood of responding well to defined or unforeseeable future changes.
• The 2013 pilot project involved the analysis of 27 policies, including regulations, programs, and goals from a Water Security Plan, spanning the sectors of agriculture, forestry, water, and parks and protected areas management across four provinces.
• The application of the ADAPTool in these provincial pilots aimed to increase the 'mainstreaming' of climate adaptation awareness within policy processes and utilized perspectives from various provincial stakeholders.
