Session Description:
This session will gather a diverse group of scholars to discuss the current developments and future agenda in Arctic sustainability research. An increasing volume of sustainability scholarship in the decade since ICARP III that addresses a variety of challenges from local community resilience to meeting the UN Sustainable Development Goals indicates continuing interest to and a rapid growth of the Arctic sustainability science. In the last several years major developments have happened in respect to ontological, epistemological, methodological and practical approaches to sustainability in the Arctic. They added new conceptualizations and visions of sustainability, as well as elevated the Indigenous perspectives on sustainability and knowledge co-production methodologies as central pillars of sustainability research. This session will contribute to the ICARP IV process by considering key accomplishments, knowledge gaps and future directions of Arctic sustainability research.
