Protected Areas and Climate Change GG300J (offered Winter 2022)

Instructed by Dr. Lemeiux

The focus of this professional practice course will be on the ecological and social
dimensions of climate change & protected areas management, including aspects of
biodiversity conservation & visitor management. Students will learn from Canada’s
broad conservation practitioner community, conduct a climate change vulnerability
assessment for a protected area, and learn how protected areas can be a
“natural solution” to the climate change problem.
