Kluane Climate Futures: Supporting Adaptation in Kluane First Nation Traditional Territory.

Funding: Polar Knowledge Canada.
Location: Yukon - Burwash Landing, Destruction Bay

Kluane Climate Futures is a collaborative project between KFN, Yukon University, and researchers James King (Université de Montreal) and Sonia Wesche (University of Ottawa). This project intends to:

• Engage KFN citizens in discussions to understand how environmental changes are impacting the local community, including people’s livelihoods and relationships with the land.

• Draw on both KFN knowledge and climate models to create story- and art-based scenarios of possible future change for the Kluane region.

• Use interactive methods to involve KFN citizens, especially youth, in planning for climate change.
