Changing Territory ❖
Around 2020, climate change is impacting territory across the globe. This is particularly true in the northern hemisphere, where permafrost is common. In Nunavik, changes in the amount of permafrost can affect transport and infrastructure. Global warming has led to less permafrost, causing softer ground. Melting permafrost has damaged buildings, roads, and land structures in Nunavik.
Global warming can also impact animals and vegetation. More trees and shrubs are growing in some northern regions because of warmer temperatures.
