4.7 Community and Culture

The observations and impacts associated with climate change for this theme overlap with many of the observations and impacts described in the previous themes. This redundancy is intentional to show how interrelated the impacts caused by climate change to our community are with the other themes. The observations and impacts described in this theme specifically summarize how our community and culture are being directly and indirectly impacted by climate change. Direct impacts are primarily those associated with extreme and unpredictable weather events/changes. Indirect impacts are mainly associated with environmental changes caused by climate change, such as changes to ice conditions, wildlife, plants, etc.
