In Churchill, known as the polar bear capital of the world, residents confront the realities of climate change as warming temperatures disrupt the local ecosystem. With polar bears spending more time on land due to shrinking sea ice, interactions with humans have increased, raising safety concerns. Local initiatives, like the Polar Bear Alert Program, work to track and manage bear encounters, while the Churchill Marine Observatory studies environmental changes. Despite the challenges, the community remains hopeful and adaptive, preparing for a future shaped by the impacts of climate change.
