The changing realities of the Arctic are creating an imperative for deeper understanding of the current situation as well as to the responses and actions needed for the region to cope with these changes. The Nordic Council of Ministers wishes to contribute to a constructive and creative dialogue between different stakeholders of the Arctic in order to highlight necessary adaptation measures to the changing realities in the Arctic. "Arctic - Changing Realities" was an attempt to move beyond some of the articulated questions, needs and challenges presented at the conference "Common Concern for the Arctic" held in Ilulissat, Greenland, in September 2008. It was also an attempt to identify in which areas the Nordic Council of Ministers could create added value to a sustainable development in the Arctic. The conference presented three main themes:1) Local and global governance in the Arctic2) Resources in the Arctic3) Living in the Arctic The conference report is a testimony of this dialogue.
