There is strong evidence that climate change is underway in the Arctic, with implications for Canada&#039;s Inuit population. This book investigates vulnerability to climate change among Inuit communities in the Canadian territory of Nunavut. It begins by deve--loping a conceptual model and analytical approach to guide vul--nerability analysis. The model is applied using two in-depth commu--nity case studies (Arctic Bay and Igloolik), where 119 interviews, participant observation, analysis of secondary sources, and biophysical modeling were conducted. The research highlights that climate change is occurring in the Canadian Arctic and is affecting Inuit livelihoods. Vulnerability to climate change, however, is not simply a function of changing climatic conditions, and the book situates the emergence of vulnerable groups in the context of social, economic and political changes experienced in the second half of the twentieth century.
