UArctic Assessment of Interventions to Actively Conserve the Earth's Cold Regions

UArctic Assessment of Interventions to Actively Conserve the Earth's Cold Regions


The methodology adopted by University of the Arctic for an evaluation of intervention ideas. The Saami Council are leading the indigenous knowledge stream but engaging with other indigenous groups in the Arctic Council.

The large meetings include 3 distinct groups:
- knowledge Holders (that bring in Indigenous Knowledge and the more grounded input to our assessment),
- indigenous politicians, and
- indigenous experts (the ones that are well-acquainted with the field).

The meetings are in a variety of formats, including formalized workshops, "town hall"-meetings, council meetings in addition to awareness raising and general capacity building.
