This Policy Paper summarizes the main outputs and preliminary findings of the Arctic PASSION project’s work related to enhancing evidence-based decision-making at the local and regional level in the Arctic, with respect to two themes: 1) the state of inclusion of Indigenous knowledge in sub-national decision-making (including the patterns of interactions between Indigenous Peoples and local/regional policymakers); and 2) data availability, needs and gaps with respect to managing and planning the green transition. The two topics are part of a selection of themes that interest local and regional governments and Arctic PASSION researchers.
