Session Description:
Addressing systemic challenges in Arctic data collection and sharing capabilities calls for coordinated and equitable approaches, leveraging capabilities across scales from local to global. Sustaining Arctic Observing Networks initiated the Arctic Roadmap for Observing and Data Systems (Arctic ROADS) to facilitate coordinated planning across multiple ‘centers of action’; it outlined a four-phase planning process and identified guiding principles and useful tools to support planning. Arctic ROADS is rooted in concepts like equitable engagement of Arctic Indigenous peoples and generating broadly shared benefits. This session invites contributions from those piloting the Arctic ROADS process to share their progress and experiences, as well as those with useful concepts, tools and reflections to contribute to the growing Arctic ROADS concept.
