Arctic is among the world’s regions most affected by ongoing cultural, socio-economic, environmental and climatic changes. Over the last two decades, multiple stakeholders and rights-holders - local and Indigenous communities, scholars, policymakers, extractive industries, governments — have turned their attention to the Arctic, its peoples and resources, and to challenges and benefits of impending transformations. At the same time, the studies of sustainability and sustainable development in the Arctic have rapidly progressed and expanded. Building on the knowledge based created by the Arctic-FROST, Arctic-COAST, Arctic Horizons, ARC-NAV and ASUS projects, this talk presents a synthesis report on Arctic sustainability research, its past and present, identifies related knowledge gaps and discusses priorities for research for the next decade. The presentation identifies theoretical and epistemological shifts, key themes and findings. To illustrate and supplement these points the discussion will also revolve around several original projects that represent different dimensions of coupled human-environment systems analysis in the Arctic. We will specifically emphasize social-ecological and social-ecological-technological systems approaches, integrated social impacts monitoring and modeling frameworks, and interdisciplinary research to address complex community issues in the Arctic.
