Arctic Climate Perspectives

This video, adapted from material provided by the ECHO partners, shows the changes that have been observed in Barrow, Alaska, due to a warming climate. The Iñupiaq people who live in Barrow present their observations of these changes based on their centuries-old knowledge of their environment, and describe how these changes are already affecting their lives. Scientists who have come to Barrow to study climate change also offer their perspective.
