Climate Change Action Plan
The Yukon Government Climate Change Action Plan is based on a common understanding that climate change is happening, that human behaviour is a contributor, and that a coordinated response is needed.
The Climate Change Action Plan sets out how the Yukon government is responding to climate change. The Plan, providing clear direction and action, advances the goals of the Climate Change Strategy, which are to:
1. Enhance our knowledge and understanding of climate change,
2. Improve our ability to adapt to climate change,
3. Reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, and
4. Lead Yukon action in response to climate change.
This action plan is the result of input received from more than 100 individuals and organization through written submissions, workshops and meetings.
Work by the Yukon government and others in response to climate change will provide economic, social and other environmental benefits. It is essential that we all prepare for the impacts of a warming climate. Climate change is real, and it threatens our forests, our watersheds, and our way of life.
