Resilience in Rapidly Changing Arctic Systems (Arctic 2)


This Collaborative Research Action (CRA) focused on the Arctic region and aimed at bringing together researchers and other expertise across the globe to develop proposals from integrated teams of scientists and stakeholders to address key areas of arctic resilience, understanding and action.
This collaboration of academic and non-academic knowledge systems constitutes a transdisciplinary approach that advances not only understanding of the fundamentals of arctic resilience but also spurs action, informs decision-making, and translates into solutions for resilience.
The call was launched in 2019 and the projects were implemented between 2020 and 2024.
This CRA was supported by NSERC, DAFSHE, ANR, RANNIS, JST, NWO, RCN, RFBR, Formas, BOEM, and NSF.
Eight projects were selected:
AWERRS | Arctic Wetlands Ecosystems – Resilience through Restoration & Stewardship |
SERUS | Building Socio-Ecological Resilience through Urban Green, Blue and White Space |
NICH-Arctic | From Nunavik to Iceland: Climate, Human and Culture through time across the coastal (sub) Arctic North Atlantic |
HYPE-ERAS | HYdrology, PErmafrost and resilience in Eastern Russian Arctic and Subarctic |
MARAT | Marine Arctic Resilience, Adaptations and Transformations |
RACE | Rapid Arctic environmental Changes: implications for well-being, resilience and Evolution of Arctic communities (RACE) |
SeMPER-Arctic | Sense Making, Place attachment and Extended networks as sources of Resilience in the Arctic |
SVALUR | Understanding Resilience and Long-Term Ecosystem Change in the High Arctic: Narrative-Based Analyses from Svalbard |
