NordForsk announces funding for a project that will produce a report to support the formulation of the Nordic guidelines for research involving Indigenous people.
Nine Nordic and North American projects will receive funding to research the sustainable development of the Arctic. The projects cover topics such as oceans, freshwater, biodiversity, over-tourism, and minerals.
The aim of the project is to develop a holistic and interdisciplinary approach to improve mine restoration in Arctic regions, in close dialogue with local communities.
This projects aims to develop a conceptual interdisciplinary framework that will inform policy and regulatory options for the Nordic countries to respond adequately to the expanding critical minerals industry in the Arctic.
The ALAMOT project seeks to explore how legal and policy frameworks are currently being implemented and how they can be used to respond to and shape the actions of diverse stakeholders in the Arctic.
The overall objective of the project is to generate new knowledge about current and future climate adaptation and handling of natural hazard events in remote settlements in the Arctic fostering sustainability and resilience.
The ultimate goal of PHATE is to provide comprehensive risk assessments and adaptation tools that account for the large-scale oceanic processes and the ecological connectivity of the Arctic region.
The aim is to co-produce new knowledge that supports the identification and evaluation of adaptation solutions that will mitigate the impacts and risks linked with the dual effects of sea ice loss and human use pressures on the Arctic marine environment.
The projects main objective is to better understand the consequences of warming winters on Arctic lakes, to identify adaptation strategies to ensure access to fishing sites.
