A logical starting point for climate change adaptation in the forest sector is to proactlvely identify management practices and policies that have a higher likelihood of achieving management objectives across a wide range of potential climate futures. This should be followed by implementation of these options and monitoring their success in achieving management objectives within an adaptive management context. Here, we implement an approach to identify locally appropriate adaptation options by tapping into the experiential knowledge base of local forest practitioners while at the same time, building capacity within this community to implement the results. We engaged 30 forest practitioners who are involved with...

RÉSUMÉ. Dans le contexte de l'aménagement forestier communautaire, il y a lieu de faire des travaux de recherche pour aider les gestionnaires des ressources forestières et les habitants des collectivités qui donnent le ton à l'aménagement forestier à tenir compte du changement climatique lorsqu'ils prennent des décisions. La nécessité de faire des recherches spécifiques à la lumière du changement climatique dans le but d'appuyer la mise en oeuvre du plan d'aménagement forestier du territoire traditionnel des Premières nations de Champagne et d'Aishihik, dans le sud-ouest du Yukon, est ressortie : 1) de séances avec des spécialistes en aménagement forestier de la région et 2) d'un atelier communautaire sur le changement...

Recent interest in sustainable forest management planning in the Yukon has coincided with growing public awareness of climate change, providing an opportunity to explore how forestry plans are incorporating climate change. In this paper, the Strategic Forest Management Plans for the Champagne and Aishihik First Nations Traditional Territory (CATT) and the Teslin Tlingit Traditional Territory (TTTT) are examined for evidence of adaptation to climate change. For each plan, management policies and practices that are also recognized as ways to adapt to climate change are identified to provide information on the incremental costs and benefits of additional adaptation efforts. A typology for classifying sustainable forest...
