Canada’s North is experiencing unprecedented change in its sea and terre strial ice, permafrost and ecosystems under the triple pressures of climate change, industrialization and modernization. The impacts of these pressure s can be seen on food and energy security, shipping, sovereignty, northern community health and well-being, and sustainable development and resource e xploitation.
