The Office of the Science Advisor guides the Yukon government on scientific matters.

We advise on scientific policy and strategy, develop and apply scientific knowledge, and increase scientific awareness and literacy within the Yukon government and Yukon.

Our activities include:

  • analyzing and sharing knowledge about developments in science and technology;
  • developing initiatives to enhance Yukon’s science and technology capacity;
  • building relationships with nations, governments, organizations, institutions and holders of traditional and community knowledge; and
  • contributing to the achievements of intergovernmental, international and circumpolar forums, committees and working groups.

Our main focus is on building strong partnerships with other governments and organizations to address issues such as adapting to climate change, and ensuring that the Yukon government helps develop and implement scientific solutions that improve Yukoners’ quality of life.
