From October 16—November 27, 2024, the Government of the Northwest Territories (GNWT) engaged with partners, stakeholders, and the public to discuss its approach to the 2025–2029 Climate Change Action Plan (Action Plan) to support the implementation of the 2030 NWT Climate Change Strategic Framework (Framework), the GNWT’s long-term plan to address climate change.
With your feedback on the Action Plan, we are working to deliver on a shared vision of a healthy and resilient NWT as outlined in the 2030 Framework.
What We Heard
Thank you to everyone who shared their input on the draft 2025–2029 NWT Climate Change Action Plan. Between October 2024 and January 2025, residents, Indigenous governments and organizations, community leaders, youth, researchers, and partners provided feedback through public and targeted engagement.
Participants made it clear: climate change is already having serious and widespread impacts across the North—and people are ready for action.
Key themes included:
Urgency – Northerners want faster, more decisive climate action.
Accountability – Clearer roles, timelines, and progress tracking are needed.
Partnership – Climate solutions must be co-developed with Indigenous and community partners.
Clarity – Communications must be clear, accessible, and grounded in local realities.
Feedback from this engagement has reinforced the need for more coordinated, transparent, and outcome-focused climate action in the Northwest Territories. In response, the Government of the Northwest Territories is shifting from a separate climate change action plan toward developing a single, integrated Climate Change and Energy Strategy.
This new approach will combine the Climate Change Strategic Framework and the Energy Strategy into one streamlined plan that strengthens implementation and reporting, and reflects the priorities and feedback shared during recent public and targeted engagement.
