Resilience under uncertain Arctic conditions: Exploring the potential of impact assessment and local knowledge

This research project aims to contribute to resilient communities, through improved handling of uncertainty and inclusion of local knowledge in decision-making concerning the large-scale development projects, which currently characterise parts of the Arctic. Impact Assessment is a pivotal tool in this regard, and is used across the Arctic to support decision-making, making it uniquely positioned as a point of departure. The project will build and disseminate knowledge, and contribute to building a new field of research.
