| Summary | (Plain Language Summary, not published)
This case study describes the 2007 climate change adaptation plan of the City of Dawson, Yukon, which supports ongoing local adaptation planning and
decision-making. The plan drew on the experience and knowledge of residents and integrated it with scientific information, including climate change projections for the region (e.g., permafrost thaw, drier summers, extreme precipitation, increased
wildfire and flood risk, earlier river freeze-thaw periods). The report identified sensitivities and opportunities, evaluated risk, and recommended 43 actions. The City worked with the Northern Climate ExChange, a Yukon-based non-profit organization,
and engaged representatives from the Government of the Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in, and the Conservation Klondike Society. |
