description Climate change is an issue at the heart of Arctic policies, as its effects are most visible in the polar regions. Climate change puts the unique Arctic ecosystem and cultural diversity of the region at serious risk. The strong link between environment and culture is very evident among indigenous communities, whose identity is closely linked to traditional nature-based activities. This article explores the mechanisms of deliberative democracy in natural resource management in the Arctic. The analysis was carried out through the disquisition of national legal sources and international instruments on human rights, indigenous rights, and constitutional texts. The paper also includes a brief examination of the effectiveness of the public consultation processes that the author collected in March 2019 during fieldwork in Kiruna, Sweden. Il cambiamento climatico è una questione al centro delle politiche artiche, poiché i suoi effetti sono più visibili nelle regioni polari.

Il forte legame tra ambiente e cultura è molto forte tra le comunità indigene, la cui identità è strettamente legata alle attività tradizionali basate sulla natura.
