Adaptation strategies to climate change in the Arctic: a global patchwork of reactive community-scale initiatives
Arctic regions have experienced and will continue to experience the greatest rates of warming compared to any other region of the world. The people living in the Arctic are considered among most vulnerable to the impacts of environmental change ranging from decline in natural resources to increasing...
