Cost to save Tuktoyaktuk from climate change: $42 million and rising

22 Sep 2021
Tuktoyaktuk, Northwest Territories, Canada
Protecting the coast of Tuktoyaktuk from the onslaught of climate change is estimated to cost at least $42 million and is only guaranteed to last until 2052. Over the project’s 30-year lifespan, over 60,000 cubic metres of sand are expected to be brought to keep the beach intact.
