| Summary | This Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment: Species at Risk provides a broad overview of the vulnerability of 46 NWT species at risk to climate change. It describes the factors contributing to species vulnerability and provides guidance for application of results to future management decisions. It includes all species at risk in the NWT, designated through either the Species at Risk (NWT) Act or the federal Species at Risk Act. Ratings and information describe (a) climate change sensitivity in relation to habitat, abiotic factors (e.g. temperature) and biotic factors (e.g. food availability, parasites, etc.); (b) sensitivity to potentially interacting non-climate stressors (e.g. human disturbance); and (c) adaptive capacity (reproductive and dispersal capacity and genetic diversity). |
| Local Relevance | This assessment provides an overview of the vulnerability of species at risk in the NWT to the effects of climate change. |
