That’s the question posed in Old Crow, home of the Yukon’s new solar installation project, which, when complete, will allow the community to stop burning nearly 200,000 litres of diesel fuel annually.

The initiative is being shepherded by Chief Dana Tizya-Tramm, the elected chief of Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation, based in Old Crow, a community of around 300 in Canada, which can only be accessed by air.

Chief Tizya-Tramm is the guest of the UN climate action podcast, No Denying It, which is available on all podcast platforms. The 10-part series features the voices of many inspiring climate activists, as well as high-profile advocates including Michelle Yeoh, Ed Norton and Jane Goodall. Listen to the episode here.
