The Arctic is undergoing climatic, ecological, and socio-economic changes that will continue into the future, with consequences for humans in and outside the Arctic. Understanding how the Arctic will change, the implications for Arctic communities and humans from all around the world, and how to respond to future changes, requires innovative approaches for exploring the future. Scenario planning is a powerful method to foresee how the future might unfold and how to best prepare. In this project, we used scenario planning in the Kitikmeot Region of Nunavut to develop new knowledge about possible future changes in the region, as well as insights on how ecological monitoring, management and adaptation actions could help Kitikmeot communities be resilient and thrive in decades to come.
