On Monday, 8th April 2024, 13:00 – 14:30, project partners from BOKU will present initial findings from our Work Package 3 – Exploring Local Perspectives: Insights into Existing Economic Activities in the Arctic from Selected Hubs.

The primary goal of ArcticHubs WP3 is to develop a comprehensive understanding of the impacts of both new and established economic activities (such as fish farming, forestry, tourism, mining) on local, including indigenous, communities throughout the Arctic
region. This involves drawing lessons from analogous situations outside the Arctic, such as in the high alpine region. The WP3 webinar serves as a platform to introduce and explore local perspectives regarding existing challenges. This understanding is derived from the analysis of select locations, providing insights into the unique issues each community faces. Additionally, this approach allows for cross-case comparisons, offering a broader and more holistic view of the challenges and opportunities across the Arctic.

ArcticHubs also brings a connected series of webinars that will share the research findings from across our European Arctic hubs.  Importantly the discussions will also point to solutions around land/sea use tensions in the rapidly changing Arctic.
