Last year, Yukon Energy Corporation (YEC) hired scientists from the Yukon Research Centre's Northern Climate Exchange, the University of Alberta and the Yukon Geological Survey to gather information on the expected impacts of climate change on the glaciers that feed YEC's hydro systems. Here are some of the key findings: 1. Glaciers currently contribute 16 percent and 7 percent of the total annual flow volume of the Upper Yukon River through melt and wastage, respectively. Melt refers to snow and ice that is less than or equivalent to the volume of snow accumulated into a glacier system each year. Wastage is melt that exceeds the volume of snow accumulation into a glacier system in a given year, resulting in a net...
The Atlin Adaptation Plan documents the community-led process of evaluating and addressing disaster mitigation and climate change in Atlin, British Columbia. The plan is the final report of the Atlin Adaptation Project, a three-year study of the projected impacts of climate change onthe community of Atlin. Earlier work in the project indicated the following: i) the community was vulnerable to climate change; and ii) the primary limiting factor inhibiting adaptation in the community was the capacity of residents to take action.

"On October 23, 2012 the Yukon government announced the start of the public consultations on the Final Recommended Plan (FRP)… The public was invited to provide comments at Open Houses that were held in four Yukon and four NWT communities in the months of December 2012 as well as January and February 2013. Comments could also be submitted online, by conventional mail as well as by voicemail or fax. Public input was accepted until February 25, 2013… This document is intended to provide the reader with a summary of all input received organized into clearly structured themes." -- p.7.
The Chisana caribou herd (CCH) is a small international herd occurring in Yukon and Alaska on the Klutlan Plateau and near the headwaters of the White River. During the 1990s through 2003, the herd experienced a long and steady decline in population. Low recruitment, predation, climate, habitat, and harvest pressure likely all contributed to the decline. From 2003 to 2006, a recovery effort designed to increase recruitment and calf survival was conducted. Pregnant cows were captured and enclosed within a holding pen during the last weeks of gestation and a few weeks following calving. During recovery planning and upon the completion of the program, the need for a management plan was stressed by the recovery team....
"The purpose of the Carcross Local Area Plan (LAP) is to guide land use and development for public, private and Settlement Lands within the planning area boundary in a manner which meets the present and future needs, and expectations of the community. It summarizes the community planning goals for the upcoming 20 years." -- p. 1.
