Project description

Over the past year, we supported the development of the Nunatsiavut climate change strategy, Sungiutisannik Nunatsiavummi (Adapt Nunatsiavut). This comprehensive strategy, built with input from community members, the Nunatsiavut Government, and several research partners, is reflective of the voices, knowledge, and priorities of Nunatsiavut communities.

This strategy builds on decades of leadership by Nunatsiavut in climate monitoring, research, and adaptation. It identifies actions to address the current and future impacts of climate change across seven priority areas: Environment, Infrastructure & Transportation, Energy, Food Security, Health & Wellbeing, Culture & Education, and Economic Development.

Our role included research, engagement, strategic guidance, and writing to ensure the final document was both actionable and reflective of Nunatsiavut’s vision for climate change mitigation and adaptation. The result is a living strategy designed to support long-term planning, secure funding, and strengthen local capacity for implementation.

Sungiutisannik Nunatsiavummi is a strategy built with community, for community.
