Using this definition, the report puts forward a series of recommendations that the Expert Group hopes can be considered by Ministers, including the adoption of an explicit policy commitment by the Council to EBM, along with nine principles related to EBM that the Council could apply in its work in the Arctic region. The Expert Group also makes a series of recommendations for activities that could, as appropriate, advance EBM in the Arctic. The recommendations are supported by annexes on definitions and principles for EBM in the Arctic; knowledge and process needs for EBM in the Arctic; advancing EBM in the work of the Arctic Council; and prior and ongoing EBM activities of the Arctic Council.
