  1. "The Russian attack on Ukraine has had major consequences thousands of miles from the battlefields. Since Russia launched its invasion in 2022, the state that contains around half of the total landmass above the Arctic Circle has been effectively excluded from the field of transnational Arctic cooperation.

    Regardless of the merits of temporarily cutting Russia off, it is the Arctic’s indigenous peoples — with longer histories in the region than the states within whose borders they now find themselves — who have suffered most from the decision and from the broader Arctic fallout of the conflict.

    During that time, they have been recruited for war, seen connections across state borders severed, and suffered from a “pause” of the Arctic Council, an international forum where they had fought for representation."

    Horrible. This one is also with mangled audio. It starts okay but then the Norwegian Prime Minister as chair of the #ArcticCouncil addresses the panel via video uplink and the recording switches to the audio in the room ffs.
    Afterwards, it appears to stay on room audio. Maybe, they realised their mistake later but I turned it off.

    But their 2024 update is out for reading

    I'll be having a look at chapter 4 on permafrost later. I quite liked the report design in previous years, with their tldr chapter introduction and the 4 emission pathways and projection for the particular topic in those.

  3. #Inuit group calls for bigger role in #ClimateAction

    The Inuit Circumpolar Council is seeking to bring the effects of #Arctic #CimateChange on their communities to the attention of participants of the #COP28 conference in Dubai

    "The #InuitCircumpolarCouncil includes representatives in #Alaska, #Canada, #Greenland and #Russia. It is one of the six international #Indigenous organizations that have decision-making power at the eight-nation #ArcticCouncil. The Inuit Circumpolar Council has a COP 28 delegation, to include Alaska members.

    "One key issue highlighted in the position paper is the Loss and Damage Fund that was created at last year’s COP 27 held in Egypt. As it is structured now, the fund is focused on helping poorer nations in the #GlobalSouth address the impacts of climate change.

    "That leaves a big gap, said Inuit Circumpolar Chair #SaraOlsvig of Greenland.

    "'This means that as it is structured now, Inuit and other Arctic #IndigenousPeoples will not have access to the fund, although we are among those most impacted by climate change,' Olsvig said by email. Given the rapid rate of Arctic warming and associated effects, 'the inclusion of Inuit in any policy and decision-making is of great importance,' she said."

  4. Hello all,

    After a few months of testing the waters here I will do a thumbnail intro.

    I'm a former stage technician who went and got a masters in #geography with a focus on the #Arctic regarding martime use, search and rescue, policy, and regional relations like the #Arcticcouncil. Since then I'm a geography #adjunct at my local community college and would love to do something else.

    I also happen to love getting outdoors and exploring the world on foot and by #bicycle

    Cheers.
