Date

Delegates of the Circumpolar Climate Change Summit released the
Whitehorse Declaration on Northern Climate Change on 23 March 2001,
outlining actions to be taken to address climate change and its impacts
in the Circumpolar North.

On the first day of the Summit, delegates provided a list of their top
priorities for action. A compiled Background Document containing the
list of the over 300 recommendations verbatim was reviewed by delegates,
who worked together preparing a one-page Declaration signed on the final
day of the Summit. The Declaration and Background Document may be viewed
