How much do you understand about how climate change is currently affecting Canada's Arctic regions?

I haven't really thought about it—it seems distant and not relevant to my daily life. I know it's warming, but I'm not sure about the specific impacts on infrastructure and communities. I understand permafrost is melting and affecting northern infrastructure, but I'm unclear on the full scope. I'm aware of permafrost thaw, its impact on buildings and pipelines, and the threat to Indigenous communities.

Which of Canada's climate action measures do you feel most informed about?

I'm not familiar with Canada's specific climate policies or targets. I know Canada has climate goals, but I'm vague on what they actually involve. I understand carbon pricing and renewable energy investments, but other measures are less clear. I can explain carbon pricing, clean energy investments, building retrofits, industrial standards, and nature conservation.

How aware are you of the economic risks climate change poses to Canada's key industries?

I haven't considered the economic side—it feels like an environmental issue only. I know climate change could affect the economy, but I'm not sure which sectors are most vulnerable. I understand agriculture, forestry, and fisheries are at risk, but I'm unsure about the scale. I can discuss specific threats: crop losses, wildfire costs, fishery disruption, and rising insurance premiums.

What concrete actions are you currently taking to reduce your personal carbon footprint?

I'm not actively doing anything—I'm still figuring out where to start. I've thought about switching to an EV or improving home efficiency, but haven't acted yet. I'm taking 1–2 steps like using public transit or reducing consumption, but inconsistently. I'm actively pursuing multiple actions: EV use, home efficiency upgrades, green energy, and policy advocacy.
