An assessment of the current status of the economy and societal well-being of population of the settlements in the Arctic as well as forward projections of this status will result in recommendations on how to minimize the negative consequences of projected changes and to benefit from emerging opportunities.

Call Objective

Through this Call for Proposals on Arctic Observing and Research for Sustainability, the Belmont Forum seeks to bring together integrated teams of natural scientists, social scientists, and stakeholders to develop projects that utilize existing Arctic observing systems, data sets and models to evaluate key sustainability challenges and opportunities in the Arctic region across one or more of four possible themes.
