| Summary | Extensive engagement has informed the 2030 NWT Climate Change Strategic Framework (the Framework). In 2016-2017, input on the development of the Framework was solicited through a background paper, an online survey and regional engagement workshops. Subsequently, a draft Framework was produced by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (ENR) and released for external review from December 5, 2017 to January 19, 2018. A total of 21 written submissions (including 145 comments) were submitted to ENR by Indigenous governments, community organizations, industry, non-government organizations and the public. A wide range of comments were received, covering numerous themes and topics pertaining to climate change. Comments were incorporated into the final Framework as appropriate. A summary of the comments received is reflected under the following eight themes: 1. Clarifying the governance structure to address climate change in the NWT as per the Auditor General of Canada’s recommendations 2. Mainstreaming climate change into plans, policies, practices and management in the GNWT 3. Providing details on implementation (Action Plan) 4. Respecting Aboriginal and Treaty rights 5. Increasing public awareness, capacity building, community involvement and partnerships 6. Addressing community adaptation needs 7. Clarifying the role of carbon pricing 8. Developing renewable and alternative energy. |
