Eskimos: We need freezers to help deal with global warming

The Inuit Circumpolar Council’s (ICC) Violet Ford says she sees climate changes “on a daily basis”.

Ms Ford, who was born and raised in the Inuit community of Makkovik, says more funds are needed for adaptation and response to climate change in the Arctic.

“That should also be going to the Inuit communities as a response to climate change,” she said.

“We need infrastructure. We want community deep freezers if the hunting patterns change so much that we can only go hunting a few times a year.”
