Climate change is challenging and threatening the Arctic ecosystem upon which the Inuit communities depend for their livelihood and cultural survival for the past thousand years. The objective of the paper is to attempt to explore all about climate change and its impact on the Inuit communities' health, food system, socio-economic, cultural activities and livelihood in the four regions in the Arctic countries: Alaska (USA), Chukotka (Russia), Greenland (Denmark), and Inuit Nunangat (Canada). The impact of climate change is multidimensional and varied from increasing the risks to challenging the traditional ways of life in the Arctic. The study uses descriptive and analytical studies based on primary and secondary sources. Climate change is one of the key factors that the Inuit communities are now concerned about the Arctic sovereignty issue which will significantly impact their political, social, cultural, and economic rights, and community well-being in these regions. The study seeks to examine the impacts of climate change, and the main reasons for the insecurities of Inuit communities in these four regions, while these four Arctic nations along with the Arctic Council are committed to promoting and protecting the rights of Indigenous Peoples at home and abroad.
