JustNorth: Toward Just, Ethical and Sustainable Arctic Economies, Environments and Societies

Duration: 2020-2024

Project leaders: Dr. Corine Wood-Donnelly (IRES) and Dr. Roman Sidortsov (University of Sussex) | Project page

From fossil fuel and mineral extraction to transport, the Arctic is experiencing a marked increase in human activity. Currently, it is also experiencing an unprecedented level of economic prosperity. The EU-funded JUSTNORTH project will study the viability of Arctic economic activities in view of the area’s social, economic and environmental complexities. Bringing together 18 partners from 7 disciplines, it will evaluate 18 case studies using innovative research methodology based on interviews, comparisons and correlations. The project will draw from its findings to develop a framework that can help determine whether the viability of economic activities in the Arctic is in line with Sustainable Development Goals. It will promote the insights and views tabled by indigenous stakeholders, local businesses, state officials and NGOs.
