| Summary: | We identify and examine how policy intervention can help Canada’s Inuit population adapt to climate change.

A consistent approach was used in each case study where vulnerability is conceptualized as a function of exposure-sensitivity to climatic risks and adaptive capacity to deal with those risks. |
