Arctic Futures Symposium 11th Edition Is Approaching!
After many interesting editions over the last decade, it is with extreme pleasure that the International Polar Foundation and its many partners from the Arctic community wish to invite Arctic stakeholders and members of the general public to the 11th edition of the Arctic Futures Symposium.
The symposium will bring together a wide variety of stakeholders from local, national, and EU policymakers, Arctic indigenous peoples, entrepreneurs and representatives form the business sector, natural and social scientists, and other academics with interests in the Arctic.
Due to Covid-19, this year's symposium will be held as a series of webinars over three successive days starting at 2 pm Central European Time (GMT+1) or 8:00 am Eastern Standard Time (GMT-5) during week 49 (Monday 30 November - Wednesday 2 December).
Programme Outline
The symposium will feature panel discussions that cover a number of key topics chosen by Arctic stakeholder partners including:
- Arctic Challenges
- Arctic Policies of the EU, Arctic states, and Arctic Stakeholders
- Arctic Community Needs and Preparedness
- Pollution, Climate Change and Biodiversity: Challenges and Solutions
