Registration call: JUSTNORTH conference
UArctic member Stefansson Arctic Institute is hosting the 2nd annual JUSTNORTH Conference that is taking place in Akureyri, the capital of Northern Iceland, on October 10-12, 2022.
JUSTNORTH is an EU-funded climate action project exploring the perspectives and values that stakeholders can bring to Arctic economic decision-making. It aims to change the future of Arctic economic development by bringing recognition and respect for different value systems to decision-making.
In 17 case studies examining the historical and legal development of economic activities in the Arctic, the project team is learning the values of Arctic stakeholders and rightsholders to define the starting point for sustainability and analyses the justice implications for economic activities in the Arctic.

At the conference, researchers and project leaders will present their findings and deliverables from different working packages and case studies and engage in panel and roundtable discussions.
