Community Climate Change Adaptation Projects

About these projects

The Community Climate Change Adaptation Project (CCCAP) is a pilot project designed to help Yukon communities to prepare for climate change. The project will work with three Yukon communities to evaluate how they are vulnerable to climate change and then to develop a plan to adapt to any challenges or opportunities that may emerge.

Dawson Adaptation Project

In December 2009, the Northern Climate ExChange completed the development of a Climate Change Adaptation Plan for Dawson City. This plan will identify Dawson-specific initiatives for building resilience to a changing climate. The final version of the plan, and a plain-language summary, can be downloaded from the project page.


Atlin Adaptation Project

The Atlin Adaptation Plan documents the community-led process of evaluating and addressing disaster mitigation and climate change in Atlin, British Columbia. The plan is the final report of the Atlin Adaptation Project, a three-year study of the projected impacts of climate change on the community of Atlin.
