Abstract
This report outlines the landscape hazards mapping project the Northern Climate ExChange and its partners conducted for Faro, Yukon. The report and accompanying maps can be used to support climate change adaptation planning.


Climate change is a significant challenge for northern communities, where the impacts of a warming climate are already having considerable effects (Huntington and Weller, 2005). Many people living in small, isolated communities in northern Yukon are concerned about climate-related risks in their regions. Because adverse impacts are a reality, it is important to implement measures to reduce or moderate the negative effects of climate change – in other words, to implement climate change adaptation strategies.
