Defining sustainable development: Indicators and assessment (RT 1/9)
This research task combines former research tasks 1 and 9 with the aim of developing a set of Arctic-relevant sustainable development indicators that can be used for integrated environmental, social and economic assessment of the impacts of extractive industries on Arctic communities. It draws on previous work on Arctic social indicators and adaptive and transformative capacity, as well as on interviews and scenario workshops with local actors in the northern regions. By identifying uncertainties and drivers of change that are relevant from various local perspectives, it will provide an understanding of the conditions for sustainable development in a rapidly changing Arctic with explicit attention to how local developments are interlinked with global environmental and social processes.
