Background

The 2026 NWT State of the Environment Report is released every four years, as required under the Environmental Rights Act. It covers five key areas:

• Climate and Air
• Permafrost and Ice
• Water
• People, Land, and Forests
• Wildlife

Together, these areas provide insight into environmental conditions and trends across the NWT and can support evidence-based decision-making.

Next Steps

The GNWT Department of Environment and Climate Change will review feedback from this engagement and use it to refine the 2026 NWT State of the Environment Report.

Following the review of comments, the GNWT will finalize the Report and share the results of this engagement.
