ASSW 2019
APECS Workshop "Socio-ecological Interactions in the Arctic for Integral Sustainability" at Arctic Science Summit Week (ASSW) 2019
Date: 23 May 2019
Location: Arkhangelsk, Russia
The Arctic in its geographical holistic context is the basis for the coherent existence of socio-ecological systems. Being both the populated region and environment for many vulnerable species, the Arctic calls for the complex and integral research in order to reach sustainable development goals. The topic of APECS Workshop at the Arctic Science Summit Week 2019 was thus “Socio-ecological interactions in the Arctic for Integral Sustainability”. The programme included both scientific and career development parts which were outlined in a unique format. During the workshop, we aimed to look into the Arctic socio-ecological interactions as a complex system which facilitates and forces interdisciplinary research and the convergence of social and natural sciences in order to aim sustainable development goals for Arctic agenda. The career development part was structured within the scientific and practical (work within break-out groups) parts to frame the understanding of Arctic research planning. At the end of the APECS Workshop day, we worked on general Statement including young scientists’ voices and was passed on to the IASC for future Arctic research planning and community input to the Arctic Council’s Agreement on Enhancing International Arctic Scientific Cooperation.
