Working together in a changing Canadian Arctic.
In the rapidly changing Arctic region, shaped by climate change and modernization, environmental and socio-economic impacts are felt first and most severely in Arctic communities and territories.
ArcticNet contributes to the development and distribution of the knowledge to inform policy development and adaptation strategies to help Canadians meet the challenges and opportunities created by modernization and climate change in the Arctic.

ArcticNet is a Network of Centres of Excellence of Canada that brings together scientists, engineers, and other professionals in the human health, natural and social sciences with partners from Inuit organizations, northern communities, federal and provincial agencies and the private sector to study the impacts of climate change and modernization in the Canadian North.
