Description: ArcticNet is a Network that gathers scientists and other professionals to study the impacts of climate change and modernization in the Arctic.
In the Arctic regions, where rapid transformation is shaped by climate, environmental and socio-economic change, impacts are felt first and most severely in Arctic communities and territories.
ArcticNet contributes to the development and distribution of the knowledge to inform policy development and adaptation strategies to help Canadians meet the challenges and opportunities created by socio-economic and climate change in the Arctic.
ArcticNet is a Network of Centres of Excellence of Canada that brings together scientists, engineers, and other professionals in the human health, natural and social sciences with partners from Inuit organizations, northern communities, federal and provincial agencies and the private sector to study the impacts of climate and socio-economic change in the Canadian North.
