Inuvialuit Settlement Region Climate Change Strategy (Opens in a new Window)
Few places in the world are experiencing the effects of anthropogenic climate change as rapidly and intensely as the Inuvialuit Settlement Region or ISR, in the Western Arctic. Inuvialuit communities and Traditional Knowledge experts have raised deep concerns about climate change and the rapid and unfamiliar environmental transformations underway, including shifting ice freeze-up and break-up trends, plant and animal species migration, coastal erosion, permafrost degradation, flooding and health and wellness effects. The ISR Climate Change Strategy aims to address the wide-ranging issues and opportunities that Inuvialuit communities face and will continue to experience in the coming years. The strategy covers core goals and enabling actions across six thematic areas: Food and Wellness, Safety, Housing and Infrastructure, Education and Awareness, Ecosystem Health and Diversity, and Energy.

Métis Climate Change and Health Vulnerability Assessment (MCCHVA) (Opens in a new Window)
This comprehensive report examines the relationship between climate change and Métis health and wellbeing. The report reviews health vulnerabilities and Métis-relevant social determinants of health; climate risks by each governing area and type of hazard such as forest fire, extreme heat, and flooding; knowledge gaps; and, key areas for action by each Metis governing body. The report recognizes the unique environmental knowledge of the Métis Nation and the strength of their communities, which provide examples of resiliency that can be used in adapting to climate change. The report closes with recommendations.

The inter-connected strategy focusses on five priority areas: knowledge and capacity-building; health, well-being and the environment; food systems; infrastructure; and, energy. The strategy provides guidance to existing and future partners, including governments and organizations, on how to work with Inuit communities to achieve their climate priorities.
