The Yukon’s climate is changing. In the last 50 years, the Yukon’s average temperatures and rainfall have both increased, and climate change events are becoming more
frequent and intense, particularly in the north. We are committed to understanding the impacts of climate change on our ability to supply reliable, renewable and cost-effective electricity to Yukoners. That is why we have developed our first Climate Change Adaptation Plan.
Released in July of 2024, the plan identifies key climate change risks and specific adaptations we can implement to better cope with, or recover more quickly from, those climate change risks. Our approach to developing this plan is aligned with industry best practices and will allow us to plan for improved resiliency now and in the future.
The plan is intended to be a living document and will be updated as adaptation actions are implemented, new risks identified and as climate science evolves.
