Climate change resilience in the Canadian Arctic: The need for collaboration in the face of a changing landscape
Human‐induced changes to global climate have become increasingly difficult to ignore in recent years. As the frequency and severity of extreme weather events increases, the impacts on both natural and human systems are becoming difficult to manage with the current policies. In Canada, one of the mos...
