Enhancing Arctic Resilience in the Arctic Council A Strategy for 2015- 2017.
The Arctic region is experiencing some of the most rapid and profound ecologic and economic changes on the planet. While climate change is the most prominent driver of these changes, many other environmental, social and economic changes are rapidly occurring at the same time. In the face of all of t...

The Arctic region is experiencing some of the most rapid and profound ecologic and economic changes on the planet. While climate change is the most prominent driver of these changes, many other environmental, social and economic changes are rapidly occurring at the same time.

Resilience is the capacity of a socio-ecological system to cope with disturbance and recover in a way that maintains its core function and identity, while also adapting to changing conditions (Arctic Resilience Report, Interim Report, 2013).
