Project Objective

Pan-Arctic Options will identify development and governance options that balance economic, social, and environmental interests in Arctic coastal-marine systems through an International, interdisciplinary, and inclusive process of data analysis. In the context of ongoing climate change, we strive to balance: national and common interests; public and corporate interests; the needs of present and future generations; and environmental protection, social equity, and economic prosperity across sectors.

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.
