Purpose
Diminishing sea ice due to climate change is making the Arctic Ocean more accessible. While the shipping industry plays a pivotal role in supporting the economy of Inuit Nunangat, increased Arctic shipping brings various threats to natural and cultural heritage in the region.The vision of the proposed project is to co-generate knowledge about risks associated with climate change-induced growth in Arctic marine shipping across Inuit Nunangat and to identify and evaluate potential management strategies that support Inuit self-determined shipping and oceans governance.
