The “Arctic Week” is a one-week international confere nce that provides transdisciplinary approaches to climate and environmental changes in the Arctic. It aims to provide an overview of the different cha llenges of the Arctic regions, as understood by Arctic peoples and by resea rchers. In a desire to pursue the interdisciplinary approach to environment al and climate changes initiated at the first edition, combining human and social sciences, environmental sciences, as well as indigenous peoples and international students, a second edition will be host from the 9th to 13rd of December 2019, Min istry of Europe and Foreign Affairs (Paris).

CREATE SYNERGIES BETWEEN SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES

< p class="rtejustify">The idea of the Arctic Week is to create  synergies between social and en vironmental scientists and between scientists and Arc tic indigenous peoples while also engaging students and the youth in these projects. It is also very important to hold public events and phot ograph exhibitions in order to raise public awareness  in France about Arctic climate change and biodiversity issues.

MAKE ARCTIC INDIGENOUS PEOPLE VOICES HEARD

The participation of Arctic indig enous peoples from Siberia, Northern Europe, Greenland, Alaska and Canada is crucial for the conference because they are frontline witne sses of the profound effects that global and climate changes have on the en vironment and they want their knowledge and observations to be heard.  Several scientific projects in the Arctic have proven the valuable input o f indigenous knowledge systems, and the latter should be fully involved in and recognised by the scientific community.

INVOLVE STUDENTS

The parti cipation of students (including from Master 2 Arctic Studies) – as future direct or indirect actors in the Arctic (early career scientists, economic agents or policy-makers) – is central for the preparation and organization of the Ar ctic Week. It is crucial to convince the students of the importance of the Arctic on international environmental, economic, social and cultural levels , and also to heavily engage them with transdisciplinarity and indigenous k nowledge as means for improving sustainability and adaptive practices relat ed to climate change and biodiversity.
