Combat Climate Change

Located on the traditional lands of the Yellowknives Dene First Nation, the City of Yellowknife is surrounded by natural beauty and resources.

As a community, our prosperity is dependent on the environment around us. While natural resource development is important for our economy, sustainable development of these resources is necessary to ensure we have a vibrant, healthy, and equitable city now and into the future.

For that reason, Yellowknife has developed programs and plans to preserve our environment and help ensure that it remains a safe place to live.
