In response to increasing impacts of climate change and other stressors on America’s natural resources, the United States Congress has called for the development of a national, government-wide strategy to safeguard fish, wildlife, plants, and the natural systems upon which they depend. A draft of that strategy is available here.
Perhaps Canadian officials could build on this strategy for the development of a similar strategy for Canada? A national energy security strategy, integrating GHG mitigation and adaptation goals and objectives, would also be a critical policy step.
