Toward a vision and strategy for Canadian permafrost knowledge<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Purpose<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Working toward co-development of collective approaches for informing adaptation and building resilience to permafrost change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Positioning statement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Canada is a permafrost country in a global climate crisis. Our northern land and communities are shaped by ground that has been frozen for thousands of years. Climate-driven permafrost thaw changes the land, damages infrastructure, and further warms the atmosphere. It threatens Indigenous ways of life and the ability to plan for a resilient future for Northerners. Currently, Canada\u2019s permafrost knowledge (like in many other jurisdictions) is not well suited to address our climate-change crisis. Our vision is a vibrant and sustainable future on changing permafrost lands.<\/strong> We believe that this can be achieved by effective adaptation, enabled by networked capacity and services, informed by braiding of western and Indigenous knowledge systems<\/strong>. Conversely, escalating costs and risks in the long term will result from delayed action. Permafrost 2030+: Towards a vision and strategy for Canadian permafrost knowledge<\/em> strives to collectively define the needs for permafrost knowledge and identify the solutions required to deliver them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Values and actions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We value DIVERSITY and INCLUSION: We encourage the expression of viewpoints, beliefs, and practices from people with different identities and life experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
