The 2022 Arctic Frontiers - Pathways conference was originally scheduled for 31 January to 3 February, but was postponed to May 2022 due to Covid-19.
The 2022 theme of Arctic Frontiers, Pathways, reflects on the choices the Arctic is facing when addressing pressing global challenges.
The urgency for action will be discussed in terms of pathways to economic development, sustainability, climate action, security, stability, and respect for science in decision-making. The scale spans from national to global policies, from corporate strategies to regional actions and Indigenous perspectives, emphasizing the need for broad stakeholder engagement and partnership.
Arctic Frontiers Science conference is traditionally international and multidisciplinary, bringing together social sciences, humanities, physical and life sciences. The Arctic Frontiers Science is focusing on both fundamental and solution-oriented research with strong impact, which addresses growing societal challenges and needs in the Arctic region.
The organizers will host an in-person conference in Tromsø (Venue – Clarion Hotel The Edge) and a possibility of digital participation. In 2022, Arctic Frontiers will host five science sessions:
- Session 1 – Pan-Arctic Infrastructure Development
- Session 2 – Food from the Ocean and Ocean Science for Sustainable Development – Bridging the UN Decades
- Session 3 – Arctic Coasts in Transition
- Session 4 – The Arctic, ocean conflicts, and pathways to sustainability
- Session 5 – Experiences from the science-policy interface in the Arctic
