Climate change represents a new era for protected areas and biodiversity conservation. With the redistribution of species and unparalleled declines in biodiversity, business-as-usual practices are unlikely to be effective. Despite progress on many facets of establishing, protecting, and managing protected areas over the past century, some of which may help to lessen or slow the impacts of climate change on biodiversity, more targeted efforts need to be developed and implemented to address growing climate challenges. To assess progress on climate change adaptation, a survey was distributed to provincial, territorial, and federal governments as well as environmental non-governmental organizations working in conservation in Canada (n = 49). Findings indicate that little progress has been made on adaptation in Canada's protected areas sector over the past decade, despite greater certainty about the impacts of climate change. Differences in monitoring, adaptation strategies, and key barriers exist across organizations. Importantly, the majority of organizations continue to report they lack capacity to address climate change issues affecting protected areas and face persistent barriers to implementing adaptation strategies. Recommendations to increase adaptation include enhancing knowledge mobilization, implementing a national adaptation strategy, and developing more flexible conservation objectives.

评估加拿大保护区的气候变化适应进展

气候变化代表了保护区和生物多样性保护的新时代。随着物种的重新分布和生物多样性的空前下降，一切照旧的做法不太可能有效。尽管在过去的一个世纪里在建立、保护和管理保护区的许多方面取得了进展，其中一些可能有助于减轻或减缓气候变化对生物多样性的影响，但需要制定和实施更有针对性的努力来应对日益严峻的气候挑战. 为了评估气候变化适应方面的进展，一项调查分发给了加拿大的省、地区和联邦政府以及从事保护工作的环境非政府组织（n = 49）。调查结果表明，加拿大在适应方面几乎没有取得任何进展” 尽管气候变化的影响有了更大的确定性，但在过去十年中的保护区部门。各组织在监测、适应策略和主要障碍方面存在差异。重要的是，大多数组织继续报告他们缺乏解决影响保护区的气候变化问题的能力，并在实施适应战略方面面临持续障碍。增加适应的建议包括加强知识动员、实施国家适应战略以及制定更灵活的保护目标。大多数组织继续报告说，它们缺乏解决影响保护区的气候变化问题的能力，并且在实施适应战略方面一直面临障碍。增加适应的建议包括加强知识动员、实施国家适应战略以及制定更灵活的保护目标。大多数组织继续报告说，它们缺乏解决影响保护区的气候变化问题的能力，并且在实施适应战略方面一直面临障碍。增加适应的建议包括加强知识动员、实施国家适应战略以及制定更灵活的保护目标。
