State of the Environment Reporting

The state of environment report allows the public to monitor how Yukon is achieving the goal of maintaining and enhancing the quality of Yukon’s natural environment for present and future generations. The report provides information on climate change, air, water, land, and fish and wildlife and uses indicators to track and interpret change. The purpose of the report is to:

• provide early warning and analysis of potential problems for the environment;
• allow the public to monitor the progress toward the achieved of the objectives of the Environment Act; and
• provide baseline information for environmental planning, assessment, and regulation.

The report offers us an opportunity to reflect on the status of the environment and to guide future decision-making.  

Yukon’s Environment Act requires full state of environment reports every three years along with interim reports in other years. Interim reports provide an update on selected environmental trends and indicators from the broad topic areas discussed in full reports.

Interim Reports

Interim State of the Environment Reports provide an update on selected environmental trends and indicators from the broad topic areas discussed in previous State of the Environment Reports (e.g., Air, Water, Climate Change, Land, and Fish and Wildlife).
