High Level Seminar: October 11-12 2022, and pre-assembly public session, Greenland (Nuuk and Ilulissat), Reykjavik (Arctic Circle Assembly)
The seminar will bring together experts and stakeholders with the objective of reassuring stakeholders in Arctic communities that the Thematic Network on Frozen Arctic Conservation is respecting the Arctic peoples’ opinions and collaboratively seek strategies to deal with the rapidly heating Arctic. Gain endorsement/approval/acceptance of continued research in the topic through co-production of knowledge in Greenland and other places. Co-produce knowledge on interventions in the cryosphere and solar geoengineering. A key topic is an ocean/glaciological intervention aimed at conserving the Greenland ice sheet/empowering communities. This may be to design the icesheet outlet Jakobshavn glacier/Ilulissat fjord configuration, or slow/control retreat of the Northeast Greenland ice stream (79N/Zacharie Glacler). Discussion on solar geoengineering and sustainable land management methods (e.g. EU Charter project).
Co-design and community engagement in Ilulissat, Greenland on the Greenland ice sheet Jakobshavn glacier and fjord system, in particular impacts on halibut fisheries. This will be done with community workshops and youth activities. A Youth Science-Art competition and exhibition will be inaugurated in Nuuk in October, and then will travel to the Arktikum exhibition space in Rovaniemi.
Co-design with reindeer herders in the Eurasian Arctic and their commissioning of research in potential sustainable land use practice and its climate feedbacks.
DW Planet A: Adam Levy produced nice popular science video with clips of John Moore and others.
”Ilmastonkorjaus ja kansalaisyhteiskunta” [climate repair and civil society] panel discussion (in Finnish), with Ilona Mettiäinen and Operaatio Arktis and other panelists.
