1 DRAFT TEN August 23 rd, 2006 Climate Change Impacts On The Alpine: The Future of Our Mountains Introduction In imagining the impacts of climate change, think of where the dawn s light first strikes at the beginning of the day. It strikes the tops of mountains. When you think of climate change, think also of where the sunlight touches the Earth most persistently and that is where twenty-four hour light falls on the poles. It is to these places we should look first for the most pronounced and immediate evidence of how climate change has begun to alter our world. Climbers are already seeing dramatic impacts of climate change in all of the world s great mountain ranges. A century after one of Europe s best known mountaineers laid down the foundation for modern climate science, the UN s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is predicting a projected mean annual global atmospheric temperature increase of between 1 C and 6 C in the coming decades. Evidence of these changes is already becoming obvious in the mountain regions all over the world. As the host of the General Assembly of the prestigious International Mountaineering and Climbing Federation in 2006, the Alpine Club of Canada will run a two-day workshop on the impacts of climate change on the physical nature and experience of the world s mountains and how the mountaineering community might respond to these changes. The object of this workshop will be to put forward the latest climate science information and emerging climate change adaptation strategies as basis for establishing a protocol for action that will allow the Alpine Club of Canada to recognize and address climate change impacts on Canadian mountain regions. It is hoped that this protocol will serve as a template for other alpine organizations around the world interested in doing the same. It is anticipated that the draft Alpine Club of Canada protocol will be composed of three pillars. The first of these relates to the mechanisms by which the Alpine Club of Canada will make accurate, peer-reviewed information about climate change impacts and adaptations to their members and partner organizations. The second will relate to the appropriate standards to which The Alpine Club of Canada and related Canadian organizations might hold themselves within the context of their climbing and adventure activities and in the operation of mountain facilities especially as they relate to energy, water and waste management. 1

2 The third pillar will establish how the Alpine Club of Canada will affect public policy locally, nationally and internationally in response to the climate change threat now, and in the future. A Climate Change Working Group has been created by the Alpine Club of Canada to craft the language for each of the pillars of the protocol. The Alpine Club of Canada Climate Change Working Group will develop the first drafts of each pillar and make them available for review and comment by representatives of the UIAA member organizations attending the Climate Change Workshop to be held in association with the UIAA General Assembly in Banff, Alberta in October of Each of the pillars will be discussed in turn at the workshop and input captured for inclusion in later drafts. The ACC will then advance the approved drafts to its National Board after further discussion with Parks Canada and with other interested organizations and institutions. Partners: The Workshop Sponsors The Climate Change Research Institute, Prairie Adaptation Research Collaborative, UN Water for Life Decade, IUCN Commission on World Protected Areas, the University of Calgary, the University of Lethbridge, Western Watersheds Partnership and the Banff Centre for Mountain Culture. The Workshop & Its Contents When: October 10 th & 11 th, 2006 Where: Purpose: Organizer: Facilitator: The Banff Centre, Banff, Alberta To examine the effects that climate change is having on alpine environments in Canada and abroad and to create the first draft of a formal protocol defining appropriate general policies, mitigations and adaptations that should be adopted by the Alpine Club of Canada and the mountain community in Canada. The Alpine Club of Canada Cam Roe, President, The Alpine Club of Canada Program Design: Part 1: What we know about climate change impacts on mountain regions. Part 2: Presentation and discussion of each of the three pillars of the proposed Banff Protocol. Part 3: What should the mountain community be doing to encourage appropriate policy to mitigate and adapt to climate change impacts. 2
