Nunavut releases climate adaptation strategy, seeks government funding
What happened
An organization leading climate adaptation in Nunavut released the Anijaarniq Strategy, a framework outlining 15 goals for Inuit-led responses to environmental shifts. The strategy identifies specific needs, including transitioning to renewable energy systems and constructing climate-resilient housing. Implementation requires securing new funding commitments from the Government of Nunavut and the federal government.
