| dc.description.abstract | With the climate warming at an alarming rate in the Arctic, communities of the Northwest Territories (NWT) require holistic, mindful, and strategic adaptation programs to help them stay resilient in the face of severe risks impacting their already vulnerable socioeconomic conditions. This project formulates an inventory comprising of climate adaptation strategies ideated, developed, or implemented by Indigenous communities across a few selected jurisdictions in the Arctic that could potentially pose as solutions for the climate risks faced by the NWT. These community-based adaptation strategies involve partnerships between Indigenous communities, the scientific community, government bodies, and other organizations and directly or indirectly address the disruption of energy and transport systems in the NWT as a result of permafrost thaw, flooding, and wildfires. The inventory aims to provide functioning examples of strategies that have worked in other Arctic jurisdictions to be used as potential adaptation strategies within the communities of the NWT. | |
