Arctic

Although the green transition is necessary, sustainable investments in the Arctic could pull the rug from under traditional reindeer husbandry. Researchers are calling for a balance of interests and for all parties to be heard.

Researchers recommend that decision-makers adopt a holistic and long-term approach when considering their interests in the Arctic.

More and more animals from southern climes carrying infectious micro-organisms are migrating north due to global warming. Researchers at the CLINF Nordic Centre of Excellence have developed new models to predict the spread of these infectious diseases

The long-term effects of climate change are well known. But what about next year, or in three years? A soon to end research project has developed a tool for exactly this purpose. The ARCPATH tool can become a game changer in both the private and public sector.

The overall aim of ReiGN is to understand how climate change and other processes in the Arctic will affect reindeer husbandry in Fennoscandia and how reindeer husbandry can adapt to these drivers.

The overall CLINF objective is two-fold and will contribute to strategies for sustainable development, and to the development of surveillance programs for selected infectious disease.

REXSAC studies extractive resource industries in the Arctic as cultural, social, economic, and ecological phenomena.

The Joint Nordic Initiative on Arctic Research has been established to generate new insight into the challenges and new opportunities confronting the Arctic region.
