Nunavut launches “Terminology on Climate Change” book in Montreal

At “Arctic Day” in Montreal, Nunavut’s environment minister Olayuk Akesuk launched the GN’s new terminology book on climate change terms in Inuktitut and Innuinaqtun.

The 150-page manual, also available on CD, explains and translates such terms as “alternative energy,” “feedback mechanism,” “northern sea route” and “solar radiation.”

The glossary will be an “invaluable tool” for researchers, government and Nunavummiut, Akesuk said.
