A community-based approach to inventorying energy and greenhouse gas emissions was developed and carried out by Kluane First Nation (KFN) and the Yukon Research Centre (YRC) in 2011/2012. Residents and commercial and government operators in Burwash Landing, Destruction Bay, and Silver City were interviewed about the types of energy they depend on—including how much it costs them, and how much they used in 2011—and the associated greenhouse gas emissions were derived. Consideration was given to stationary energy (electricity and heat generation), transport energy (on and off-road vehicle use), and waste sectors. Views on energy concerns and success stories were also solicited to provide insight into the inventory...
This project investigates contemporary landscape hazards related to permafrost degradation, surficial geology and hydrology in Burwash Landing and Destruction Bay, Yukon. It also considers potential future landscape evolution in response to changes in climate. The work is accomplished by gathering and mapping geoscience data, including landscape metrics, surficial geology, permafrost conditions and hydrology. Projections of future climate variability (e.g., temperature, precipitation, freeze and thaw dates) for each community are used to identify potential future trajectories of change. Risk associated with landscape hazards mapped as part of this project are ranked in four categories, reflecting progressively increasing...
The objective of this project was to identify landscape hazards in the Village of Mayo and nearby surroundings by compiling geoscience data from various field studies and scientific reviews (surficial geology, permafrost and hydrology). This data was used to create a map of landscape hazards that delineate low, moderate and high-risk areas in the Mayo region. Potential impacts of a changing climate were incorporated in the identification of these three hazard zones. Concurrent to the Hazards Mapping Project, the Northern Climate ExChange has begun developing an adaptation plan for the community of Mayo. The hazards project has contributed significantly to the assessment of vulnerability for the community of Mayo....
