Yukon Government
Climate Change Action Plan

It is the belief of the Yukon government that climate change is happening, that human behaviour is a major contributor, and that a coordinated response is needed.

Cover of Climate Change Action Plan document

The Climate Change Action Plan sets out how the Yukon government is responding to climate change. It shows us actions now underway as well as what new or enhanced actions would help advance our priorities.

This action plan is the result of input received from more than 100 individuals and organization through written submissions, workshops and meetings. The plan, providing clear direction and action, advances the goals of the Climate Change Strategy.

Work by the Yukon government and others in response to climate change will provide economic, social and other environmental benefits. It is essential that we all prepare for the impacts of a warming climate. Climate change is real, and it threatens our forests, our watersheds, and our way of life.
