List of Canadian forest policies supporting the adaptation of non-industrial private forest owners to climate change

It provides reports and planning tools such as the Canadian Wildland Fire Information System or the national adaptation strategy. At the provincial level, voluntary programs were collected based on (Rotherham 2017) and on the first 50 results from Google search engine, using the province name AND forest AND [program OR strategy OR plan] AND [climat* OR adapt*]. We screened the texts collected to evaluate if they meet the following criteria: (i) relate to climate change mitigation or adaptation; (ii) refer (at least partially) to non-industrial private forests; and (iii) include any reference to any kind of support toward adaptive forest management.

If so, full texts were then assessed to capture key information, including policy/program objectives, governance, and assessment reports when available. Northwest Territories, Nunavut and Yukon are territories, and therefore do not develop provincial regulations.
