The Community Climate Change Adaptation Project (CCCAP) was a collaborative initiative with four northern communities to increase adaptive capacity by developing adaptation plans to respond to challenges and opportunities arising from climate change.
Climate Change Adaptation Plans were created for:
- Dawson City, YT
- Whitehorse, YT
- Mayo, YT
- Atlin, British Columbia.
