Polar Knowledge Canada Knowledge Sharing Workshop Infographics

In March 2020, Polar Knowledge Canada (POLAR) hosted a Regional Planning and Knowledge Sharing Workshop, at the Canadian High Arctic Research Station (CHARS) in Cambridge Bay, Nunavut.

The participants included Indigenous representatives from Nunavut and the Northwest Territories, scientists, and representatives of northern governments and organizations involved in research. They selected themes that represent priority questions in northern communities. Scientists and Indigenous knowledge holders produced technical papers based on these themes. The infographics below are a visual summary.

Environmental change – snow, ice, and precipitation

Canada's Arctic environment is monitored by many people using many tools, both at land and at sea

Climate change is altering familiar patterns of ice, wind, and weather in the Arctic. How is this affecting wildlife and communities, and what can we expect in the future?

Whale population and marine ecosystem biodiversity

Arctic marine mammal include whales, belugas, seals, and narwhals

The Arctic undersea world is full of life, from tiny zooplankton to the gigantic whales that eat them. What does climate change mean for this ecosystem, so much of which depends on sea ice?

Arctic char and other fish population dynamics

Arctic char

Fish—especially Arctic Char—is a food staple in Arctic communities. How is climate change affecting Arctic fish now, and how might they respond in the future?

Climate change research and monitoring

climate change affects all aspects of Indigenous food security and ways of life

The land, sea, and the wildlife they support are the foundation of life and culture in Indigenous communities. What do the environmental effects of climate change mean for those communities, and what action is needed in response?

Caribou abundance and migration

Across the Arctic, Indigenous People have always depended on caribou for food and clothing. What does climate change, and other changes caused by human activity, mean for the future of these animals?
