Community-based monitoring framework development for the Foxe Basin Kivalliq North Sapujiyiit/Guardians of the Sea Society

The proposed research project will be to provide an understanding and overview of Inuit women’s concerns, feelings, and thoughts regarding how their day to day lives are changing due to climate change and increased development in Nunavut. The partner organization (Sapujiyiit Society) will have the role of guiding the HQP through formulation of the research question, project design and implementation, assistance with research objectives and incorporation of perspectives of Inuit women. This work is aligned with government initiatives outlined in the throne speech and will help us understand the impacts of climate change on women. Outputs will be publicly available to be adopted and modified by other guardians programs.
