We are excited to announce the release of the Effective Support for Communities Experiencing Climate Mobilities: Lessons from the CJRF Grant Portfolio (2017–2024) report, created in collaboration with the United Nations University Institute for Environment and Human Security (UNU-EHS). This report highlights key lessons from 11 grants implemented across Alaska, Bangladesh, and the Pacific, focusing on community-driven solutions to the challenges of climate mobility.
Empowering Communities in the Arctic: A Visit to Arctic Bay’s Indigenous Stewardship Program
Since 2018, CJRF has supported guardians in the Arctic through Makeway, which hosts the Northern Indigenous Stewardship Circle, a network of communities with guardian programs across the Canadian North. In October 2023, I visited the Inuit community of Arctic Bay and spent time with the local guardian crew. My visit revealed the remarkable ways in which this program is not just a response to climate change, but also a beacon of hope and resilience.
