Global climate change is already bringing about dramatic and far-reaching changes in the Canadian Arctic. Beyond the direct, physical impacts, there are also various indirect, secondary impacts, such as cultural, social and economic reverberations from climate change affecting Aboriginal ways of life. Climate change (“hilaupuunnakpallianinga”) has triggered a period of great instability and uncertainty in the North. Several ArcticNet projects have set out to document the physical changes brought on by climate change, and other projects tackle the social, cultural and economic reverberations. In this project we seek to identify and explore the governance challenges arising from climate change impacts in the Canadian Arctic. |

Legal Research Agenda This Research Strategy articulates the research principles priorities identified in discussions that took place in Montreal in the context of the December 2005 Climate Law symposium, consultations with several northern residents, leaders and Inuit organizations in the North over the summer of 2006, and various meetings between Network Investigators and researchers. Principles and an analytical framework guide the legal research. From the framework, six key themes for research papers emerge, around which more elaborate research will be undertaken by CISDL members and collaborators. The theme leaders identified in each project are taking charge of further consultations with specific partners and advisors in order to develop outlines for the research papers in each area.
