" “The Yukon has great potential to lead the circumpolar world in producing the innovations that are required to deal with impacts of arctic climate change. A quarter of the world’s surface is permafrost, which could be one of the largest emitters of greenhouse gasses if it starts to thaw. The technology to sense and deal with this simply doesn’t exist yet, and we have the advantage of having a well-equipped modern city surrounded by permafrost. It’s a great location to rapidly develop the needed tech.”
