adapting to climate change must be considered a normal way of life.\u00a0 Concerted effort from every Islander will be required for Prince Edward Island to successfully minimize the impacts that climate change will invariably bring.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/projects.upei.ca\/climate\/files\/2012\/07\/PEI-Climate-Change-Adpatation-Recommendations-Report_medres.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Download the Main Report as PDF<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/projects.upei.ca\/climate\/files\/2012\/07\/Prince-Edward-Island-Climate-Change-Adaptation-Recommendations-Report-Summary.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Download the Summary Report as PDF<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The UPEI Climate Lab has completed its development of the Prince Edward Island Climate Change Adaptation Recommendations Report.\u00a0 The report outlines anticipated climate change impacts for 10 different sectors &#8211;
