The Arctic Centre organises a winter school 'A sustainable future for the Arctic'. The organizers are aiming at (inter-)national civil servants and policy makers, politicians, managers, financial experts and (young) academics who are looking for a nuanced and wide-ranging understanding of the Arctic, which can be a crucial asset to many public- and private-sector employers with operations in the Arctic.
Global warming is most prominent in the Arctic with visible changes in ice and snow and enormous challenges for ecosystems and people to adapt to the new situation. Loss of the Arctic as we know it, coincides with new development in this area on conservation, cooperation, governance and security. New business opportunities should take account of the sensitivities of the natural environment and local people. Sustainable solutions require multidimensional knowledge and a prudent approach when coming from outside the Arctic.
