The document highlights how permafrost thaw and extreme weather are damaging critical infrastructure in Northern Canada, including airstrips, residential buildings, and winter roads. It advocates for transformational adaptation—rethinking infrastructure design and funding—to ensure reliable transport, habitable housing, and food security for northern communities.

• Climate change is causing severe structural damage to northern infrastructure: permafrost thaw and extreme weather are cracking and warping airstrips, damaging residential buildings and gas lines, and causing permanent roads to collapse.
• Winter roads are facing a critical decline in viability, with the potential for over 50% to become unusable within the next 30 years due to warming temperatures and thinning ice.
• Infrastructure failure creates a domino effect that threatens food security by disrupting the delivery of purchased goods and limiting access to traditional food sources like meat, fish, and berries.
