Foreword from the WhiteCAP Local Advisory Committee<br />

The main role of the <strong>Whitehorse</strong> Community <strong>Climate</strong> <strong>Change</strong> <strong>Adaptation</strong> Project Local Advisory<br />

Committee (WLAC) has been to provide a local perspective to the project and to guide the<br />

allocation of money for pilot adaptation projects. The WLAC members were chosen to balance<br />

the broad and overlapping interests/jurisdictions that co-exist in <strong>Whitehorse</strong> while striving for<br />

solu ons which will be effective and widely supported.<br />

Our goal has been to develop a community plan as a foundation in preparing <strong>Whitehorse</strong> for<br />

climate change. Our intention was that overall this work should contribute to the sustainable<br />

well-being of the community. The plan provides a broad analysis of the risks and opportunities<br />

of climate change, and makes a series of recommendations. It is now up to the decision-makers<br />

within the community - the City of <strong>Whitehorse</strong>, Government of <strong>Yukon</strong>, Ta’an Kwäch’än Council,<br />

Kwanlin Dün First Nation and other community groups to decide upon the next steps and carry<br />

the work forward.<br />
