Description
Summary:The Gap Analysis Report (GAR) is a deliverable within the Preparatory Action “Strategic Environmental Impact Assessment of development of the Arctic.” The report evaluates existing Arctic information needs and exchange in order to help assess how an EU Arctic Information Centre could improve information provision and communication. The goals of the GAR are two-fold: First, it aims to identify and analyze the Arctic information needs of stakeholders and policy-makers. Second, the GAR endeavours to offer recommendations on ways to improve knowledge (reducing information gaps) and to improve two-way communication between information providers and users (reducing communication gaps). Recommendations are designed to reflect the role, or roles, of an EU Arctic Information Centre. Through meeting these objectives, the GAR ultimately supports the Preparatory Action’s goals of evaluating a potential EU Arctic Information Centre and network.
