Quotes “With the North warming significantly faster than the rest of Canada, the longstanding reality of significant infrastructure deficits is now even more exacerbated. Canada cannot afford the severe consequences of the North remaining unprepared for the infrastructure costs of climate change.”-- Tosh Southwick, owner of IRP consulting, Kluane First Nation citizen, Canadian Climate Institute Board member, and Yukoner.

Key Points: 
  • OTTAWA, June 14, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A new report from the Canadian Climate Institute reveals that climate change will devastate Northern infrastructure, threatening lives and livelihoods across the territories and the northern regions of large provinces.
  • Due North: Facing the costs of climate change for Northern infrastructure analyzes the need and the opportunity to rethink infrastructure in the North, advancing policies and investments to better serve Northerners and to prepare Northern infrastructure for the effects of climate change.
  • But in the long run, much of the Norths existing infrastructure cannot practically be protected from climate change.
  • Canada cannot afford the severe consequences of the North remaining unprepared for the infrastructure costs of climate change.
