The theme of the 2023 Academy is inspired by the rich circumpolar cooperation and regionalization by local & regional non-state actors – Indigenous peoples’ organizations, sub-national governments, non-governmental organizations, civil societies – and their important contributions for multi-level governance. These contributions, as well as the entire work, are done under an emerging pressure of the environmental catastrophe and climate crisis, as well as the new (East-West) great power rivalry and the related power politics. Local & regional actors also face, by concrete ways, a paradox of Arctic development whenever a balance has been sought between environmental protection & climate change mitigation and economic activities due to ‘political inability’ of the Arctic states to make hard decisions.
The 2023 Academy will be organized with a spirit of an open dialogue and a participatory approach to discuss and analyze Northern and Arctic issues. The Academy aims to apply the double interplay between science, politics and business, and that between scientific and Indigenous knowledge, as well as to educate and supervise early-career scientists in interdisciplinary circumpolar studies and implement transdisciplinary dialogue between different stakeholders.
