Abstract

This final report is the first comprehensive study to examine broadly the state of knowledge about climate change and its impact on Canadian employment, workplaces, and workers. It focuses on six of Canada’s most significant economic sectors: auto manufacturing, construction, energy, forestry, tourism, and the postal sector. It includes chapters with a gender analysis, and which place Canada in an international context. It concludes with a research agenda for the future.
