| Abstract | Climate change presents a risk to the composition, health, and vitality of Canada’s forests and forest sector. Effects may be either negative or positive, and will interact in complex ways over many spatial and temporal scales depending on such factors as physical geography, forest type, and forest management practices. Given the apparent vulnerability of forests and the forest sector to climate change, it is prudent that forest and forest-based community managers begin to develop adaptive strategies to minimize the risks and maximize the benefits of climate change. A flexible planning framework that incorporates key principles of structured decision-making and risk management is presented as a practical way to integrate climate change adaptation into forest management planning. RESUME Les changements climatiques presentent des risques en matiere de composition, de sante et de vitalite des forets et du secteur forestier du Canada. Les effets peuvent etre soit negatifs, soit positifs et entraineront des interactions complexes a de multiples niveaux spatiaux et temporaux en fonction de facteurs comme la geographie physique, le type de foret et les pratiques d’amenagement forestier. Etant donne la vulnerabilite apparente des forets et du secteur forestier face aux changements climatiques, il serait prudent que les amenagistes forestiers et les gestionnaires des communautes dependantes des forets commencent a elaborer des strategies d’adaptation afin de minimiser les risques et maximiser les benefices relies aux changements climatiques. Un cadre flexible de planification qui comporte des principes cles de prise de decision structuree et de gestion du risque est presente en tant que moyen pratique d’integrer l’adaptation aux changement climatiques au sein de la planification de l’amenagement forestier.
