Écosystèmes

Le territoire fait partie intégrante de la culture des peuples autochtones et est source de bien-être. La mer, les côtes, la toundra, les rivières et les lacs de l’Arctique continental sont à la base du mode de vie des peuples autochtones et des habitants du Nord, auxquels ils fournissent notamment nourriture et eau potable. Les projets qui y sont liés visent à mieux comprendre les vulnérabilités des écosystèmes terrestres et marins, à évaluer les impacts cumulés des facteurs de stress et à élaborer des stratégies d’atténuation pour des écosystèmes durables et résilients.
