Important climate change links and tools:

  • GNWT Climate Change website.
  • Climatedata.ca – a user-friendly website containing historical and projected climate data across Canada, including the NWT. Climatedata.ca is a collaboration between Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), the Computer Research Institute of Montreal (CRIM), Ouranos, the Pacific Climate Impacts Consortium (PCIC), the Prairie Climate Centre (PCC), and HabitatSeven.
  • The Climate Atlas of Canada – an interactive tool for citizens, researchers, businesses, communities, and political leaders to learn about climate change in Canada. It combines climate science, mapping, and storytelling to bring the global issue of climate change closer to home, and is designed to inspire local, regional, and national action and solutions.
  • The Northwest Territories Climate Explorer provides climate projections up to 300 years out, for 46 communities and other areas of interest in the NWT. This tool is part of an ongoing collaboration between the Scenarios Network for Alaska + Arctic Planning and the Government of the Northwest Territories.
  • NRCan’s Canada in a Changing Climate: Advancing our Knowledge for Action is the national assessment of how and why Canada’s climate is changing; the impacts of these changes on our communities, environment and economy; and how we’re adapting across the country. Led by Natural Resources Canada, these user-friendly, online reports enable Canadians to learn about the climate change impacts they’re facing, make sound decisions and take action to adapt.
  • The Public Infrastructure Engineering Vulnerability Committee (PIEVC) protocol was developed to conduct engineering assessments of the vulnerability of Canada’s public infrastructure to the impacts of climate change.
