Global drivers, local consequences: Tools for global change adaptation and sustainable development of industrial and cultural Arctic hubs (ArcticHubs)

ArcticHubs

The ArcticHubs Project is an ambitious, multi-disciplinary international collaboration that aims to develop research-led, practice-based solutions to the urgent challenges faced in the Arctic. Key outputs of the project will include tools for building collaborative and consensual approaches to land and resource use. Tools such as public participatory geographical information systems (PPGIS), guidelines for ‘social licence to operate’, and the building of future scenarios for the Arctic, will be trialled and implemented in collaboration with stakeholders in the 22 hubs. In addition to ‘fish farming’, ‘forestry’, ‘tourism’, ‘mining’ and ‘indigenous’ hubs inside the Arctic, four external ‘learning’ hubs, located in Canada, Austria and Italy, will provide points for comparison and control with the Arctic cases.
