Grant Overview

Yukon’s Indigenous-Led Climate Resilience Projects

Yukon is witnessing profound changes as a result of climate change, with rising temperatures impacting traditional land use practices and food security among Indigenous communities. Notably, Indigenous populations in the territory are experiencing these changes at an alarming rate; the Yukon Government reports that average temperatures have increased by 1.6 degrees Celsius over the past 70 years. This warming is affecting the availability of game and fish, which are central to the food systems and economies of many First Nations.

Indigenous communities that depend on these natural resources face the daunting challenge of adapting to changing conditions, particularly in terms of land management and sustainable food sourcing. Many groups are gathering traditional ecological knowledge to inform their adaptation strategies, recognizing that climate resilience is intertwined with cultural preservation and future sustainability.

To empower these communities, the Yukon government is launching funding for Indigenous-led Climate Resilience Projects. This initiative prioritizes projects that integrate traditional knowledge with modern climate solutions, focusing on food security, land management, and capacity building. The program aims to equip Indigenous leaders with the tools and resources necessary to implement adaptive strategies that resonate with their cultural practices and contemporary needs.

Applications for funding will require a demonstration of community engagement and collaboration, stressing the importance of shared decision-making and co-management of natural resources. Project proposals will be evaluated based on their potential for immediate impact and cultural relevance, ensuring that funded projects uphold community values and promote resilience.

The anticipated outcomes include improved food security for Indigenous populations, better management of traditional territories, and enhanced community capacity to adapt to climate change. By fostering local leadership and investing in Indigenous knowledge systems, the initiative aims to bolster the resilience of Yukon’s communities, affirming their role as stewards of the land while addressing the critical challenges posed by a changing climate.
