This report uses six case studies to examine the factors that motivate jurisdictions to develop specific climate change adaptation policy instruments and identifies factors that lead to the success or failure of such policies. Case studies in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, and Massachusetts examine the mechanisms used by provinces or states to support municipalities in their adaptation planning. The report concludes by providing the most relevant indicators for policymakers to consider when assessing progress in their adaptation strategies. 1, record 1, English, - Understanding%20the%20determinants%20of%20effective%20policy%20instruments%3A%20case%20studies%20of%20climate%20change%20adaptation%20in%20Qu%C3%A9bec%2C%20Atlantic%20Canada%20and%20Massachusetts

Histoire : Les 120 pèlerins du Mayflower fondèrent le premier établissement à Plymouth en 1620. De nombreux puritains anglais s'installèrent dans la colonie (charte de 1629) établissant un régime théocratique et parfois persécuteur. Boston prit au XVIIIe siècle la tête du mouvement d'indépendance, et la guerre d'Indépendance commença dans la colonie. Bien que particulariste, le Massachusetts ratifia la Constitution en 1788. 5, record 2, French, - Massachusetts
