Summary
Our goal has been to develop a community plan as a foundation in preparing Whitehorse for climate change. Our intention was that overall this work should contribute to the sustainable well-being of the community. The plan provides a broad analysis of the risks and opportunities of climate change, and makes a series of recommendations. It is now up to the decision-makers within the community - the City of Whitehorse, Government of Yukon, Ta’an Kwäch’än Council, Kwanlin Dün First Nation and other community groups to decide upon the next steps and carry the work forward.
