Capacity Sharing for Biodiversity as Community and Regional Development

Kuvaus

This presentation discusses the efforts of the CAP-SHARE project, which aims to strengthen collaboration between scientists, policymakers, and communities in the Arctic regions. Funded by Interreg NPA, the project seeks to promote capacity sharing for biodiversity through a series of online and face-to-face workshops held between 2024 and 2025. The first workshop focuses on understanding the needs and opportunities for community and regional development, with an emphasis on biodiversity. The second workshop focuses on recognizing local and Indigenous Knowledge. The main objectives of the overall workshops are to facilitate dialogue, share experiences, and provide guidance for those interested in taking local action. Additionally, the workshops aim to foster networks that can drive initiatives forward, establish processes for capacity sharing, and connect biodiversity with regional development. The project also emphasizes recognizing local and Indigenous knowledge by presenting shareable models and activities for science and sustainability education related to nature, the environment, and sustainable development, as well as models for social and cultural knowledge sharing. The focus includes the Sámi population, their indigenous culture, intergenerational knowledge, and the Arctic ecosystem. Using a community development approach, this presentation shares the results from the two online workshops and discusses how collaboration with communities, especially vulnerable and underrepresented groups, can promote empowerment and build resilient communities.
