Environment as a cultural and economic “barrier” of Canada by Ivanović Mirko

“…This paper is significant for two reasons, the first is to explain the historical division of the country through natural conditions as the main factors of division (into the southern more populated part and the northern sparsely populated part of Canada) and second to show how climate change really changes the everyday life of the local population in a positive (economic growth and employment) and negative (environmental change due to climate change and environmental pollution due to the arrival of industry in those "remote" areas) aspect.…”
