  10. RE REXSAC – Reso esource Extr Extractio ion and and Sus ustainable Arct ctic ic Com ommunit itie ies • Objectives: study extractive industries in the Arctic as cultural, social, economic, and ecological phenomena • Analysis of why resource extraction commences, • What consequences it has for communities in the Arctic and beyond • What opportunities exist for transitioning toward post- extractive futures Case studies in three regions Long term outcome : a set of best practices for sustainable development in Arctic mining regions

  13. Adding (N (Nordic) valu lue – an on ongoing lea learning process • Synergies – through collaboration • Expectations – inspiration to renewal • Scale – resources allowing us to be bold and think big PhD courses Enhanced funding opportunities Globalization/de-exceptionalization Networking with networks

  18. Our key guiding value concepts Interdisciplinary – RTs = x 10 composite teams; common field work; cross-cutting PhD courses; publishing alliances, ex 1: common theorizing on systems theory, ex 2: Petrov/Nilsson et al on Arctic sustainability): Integrativ ive – common sites/shared issues; shared resources (stations, expeditions, methods); shaping integrative environments/institutions; shaping careers (mixing individual/cooperative) Co Co-productiv ive/ Communit ity y ba based – co-producing knowledge; community participation in environmental and social monitoring; openness to different ways of knowing Tran ansformativ ive – embracing and promoting directional change; problematizing gender; exploring post-extractive futures; expanding ’ resources ’; making use of heritage Base line: : sh sharin ing = = maki making us use of of resources for or tran ansformin ing resear arch & & enh nhan ancin ing qualit quality

  31. Impacts of multiple pressure on Arctic landscapes and societies Why? The combined effects of mining activities and rapid climate and environmental change are poorly understood. What? Develop models that integrate the effects of climate change and disturbances associated with land use changes and pollution. Provide new best practices and processes for scientifically robust impact assessments. Support political decision-making processes. Enhance the capacity of communities to respond to change..
