On 8–9 November, nearly 150 delegates representing the Arctic Council Member States, working groups and indigenous peoples will meet in Luleå. At the meeting, the Council is expected to discuss two major research projects, the Arctic Change Assessment and the Arctic Resilience Report. Among other projects, young people in reindeer husbandry will be on the meeting agenda.
“The preparatory discussions were dealt with during the Arctic week in Stockholm in late September. So in Luleå we are aiming for a dynamic meeting where we can ‘press the start button’ for the new projects,” says Sweden’s Arctic Ambassador Gustaf Lind, who will lead the meeting.
