| Summary | The first NWT Climate Change Risks and Opportunities Assessment serves as a roadmap to identify and prioritize shared climate adaptation goals in the Northwest Territories. It emphasizes collaboration, coordination, and resource pooling for effective climate preparedness. Developed over two years through extensive engagement with residents, Indigenous and local governments, youth, civil society, federal agencies, and academia, the assessment incorporates input from the NWT Climate Change Youth Council and guidance from the NWT Climate Change Council. While not a peer-reviewed scientific document, it prioritizes known risks and opportunities to guide decision-makers, acknowledging its scope, assumptions, and limitations. |
