Session Description:
Many Arctic communities are located along the rivers. Rivers have played a vital role in supporting Indigenous livelihoods in the Arctic for millennia, and they continue to facilitate transportation, commercial activities, and subsistence practices today. In recent decades, Arctic rivers and their basins have been experiencing dramatic changes in hydroclimatic regimes, biological diversity, environmental conditions, and industrial development. Although major efforts have lately been devoted to highlighting, understanding, and addressing multiple challenges faced by coastal Arctic communities, riverine social-ecological systems (SES), specifically, have received relatively limited attention. This workshop will focus on riverine Arctic SES and communities to elicit state-of-the-art knowledge on key challenges and to identify pathways for adaptation
The workshop focuses on interactions between a changing climate, hydrology, the cryosphere, and human processes to improve local and regional resilience and adaptive capacity.
The Workshop is organized by the Project “Socio-Ecological Systems Transformation in River basins of the sub-Arctic under climate change” (SESTRA).
