Module 2 - Overview

In this module, you will be introduced to the key organizations, or "stakeholders" that are involved in the climate change, energy, renewables, biodiversity and health issues, that are helping shape the policies, funding and projects in Nunavut. As with any complex policy issue, collaboration and working in partnership is key. No one organization is alone in the climate change fight, so while there are often specific interests or challenges that, as Sheila Watt-Cloutier noted have been put before the rights or interests of Inuit and Northerners as "collateral damage", the global need to come together to find energy generation and adaptation solutions to a rapidly changing and new of living, and being and doing, is key.
