| Summary: | This Part I Report and supporting compilation of recommendations and Ministerial Declarations of the Arctic Council on engagement of Indigenous Peoples and local communities, is the first time all of these disparate recommendations and statements have been brought together in one place. Significant work has been done in the MEMA project. A database has been compiled with hundreds of documents and individual recommendations, declarations, and requirements. A preliminary analysis has been conducted on these documents to ascertain the current practices, requirements and guidance. A narrative summary of the obligations for engagement and common practices has been drafted. Two workshops have also been held in support of the project.
