Abstract
⺠Climatic and environmental changes are being experienced most rapidly by Indigenous populations, such as Canadian Inuit. ⺠Climatic and environmental changes are altering local ecosystems in Northern Canada, negatively impacting a sense of place. ⺠Climatic and environmental changes and altered sense of place impacts physical, mental, and emotional health and well-being. ⺠Climate-health research needs place-based research and programming to gather localized knowledge for health adaptation. ⺠Place-attachment is a vital indicator of health and well-being and climate change is an important determinant of health.
