How this Strategy was Built

The Adapt Nunatsiavut strategy was created by and for Labrador Inuit, through a process grounded in Inuit values, voices and ways of knowing.

The strategy grew out of conversations with Nunatsiavummiut across all five communities. Elders, youth, families and local leaders came together to share their experiences of a changing climate and their hopes for the future.

A cornerstone of the process was the Silavut Asianguvalliajuk workshop, which brought people together to identify priorities, challenges and solutions. These sessions blended traditional knowledge with scientific insights, ensuring the strategy reflects both Inuit wisdom and modern research.

Input was gathered through community meetings, storytelling and land-based activities. This inclusive process ensured that a wide range of perspectives shaped the final plan.

The strategy is firmly rooted in Inuit self-determination. It reflects the direction of the Nunatsiavut Government and the collective vision of Labrador Inuit for resilient, thriving communities.
