James Ford is the CIHR Chair in the Dept. of Geography at McGill, and lead the Climate Change Adaptation Research Group. His work takes place at the interface between climate and society, and he is particularly interested in climate change vulnerability and adaptation. Ford leads a diversity of initiatives in this area, including projects focusing on Indigenous peoples and climate change (with a major focus on the Arctic), and examining ways to create ‘usable’ science. Resource management, natural hazards, and health, are overarching topics within these themes. Along with his colleagues, Ford is also developing novel approaches to tracking climate change adaptation at global and regional levels, developing systematic review approaches in an environmental change context, and he is involved in adaptation monitoring and evaluation debates. I am currently editor-in-chief at the journal Regional Environmental Change, have been a lead author on national and international climate assessments including the IPCCs SR on 1.5C of warming, and have published >150 peer reviewed articles.
