Ability to adapt to changing environment the best bet for Arctic defenceLast month, the 27th United Nations Climate Change Conference shone a harsh light on the changes being wrought by climate change. And no region is being so dramatically altered, so quickly, as the Arctic. This, of course, is a problem for Canada. As the summer sea ice retreats and our Arctic shores become more navigable, we will have to reassess how we assert our sovereignty along our longest coastline.

The recent fact-finding mission to the Arctic by the Senate Standing Committee on National Security, Defence and Veterans Affairs served to reinforce for me that our best bet for being able to respond quickly and nimbly to such events is to ensure that our Arctic communities have the means and support to thrive and adapt in a changing environment. Canada’s 2019 Arctic and Northern Policy Framework recognized the importance of Arctic communities. The framework consists of eight themes that view the Arctic through regionally distinct lenses.
