Our planet is facing some of its greatest challenges. Especially in the North, the imminent threat of irreversible climate change, and its palpable effects on our physical, ecological and social worlds, is increasingly felt. In particular, the polar region is warming faster than any other area of Earth. There is an urgent need to assess the multiple relationships between these increasing natural hazards and our societies, geopolitics, economies and environment. Conversely, we are forced to seek new ecological, political and economic concepts and approaches to help mitigate climate change and adapt to inevitable transformations. Furthermore, the challenges facing the Nordic states are embedded in complex and spatially differentiated socio-economic and ecological landscapes, which requires multiple scientific approaches.
