Abstract:
The Arctic and sub-Arctic regions of Canada are undergoing extreme changes with significant environmental, economic, cultural, and geopolitical impacts. Canada’s leadership is crucial for a sustainable future in these regions, requiring strong coordination and collaboration with local communities. This panel will explore the need for a Canadian Arctic Science Strategy (CASS) to strengthen dialogue among scientists, policymakers, Indigenous communities, and other sectors. Key themes include addressing climate change impacts, preserving unique ecosystems, promoting sustainable development, and incorporating Indigenous knowledge. A CASS would aim to support informed decision-making and resilience in Canada’s North, aligned with northern cultural values and priorities.
