Item EALLU - Arctic Indigenous Peoples' Food Systems: Youth, Innovation & Change Report 2021-2025(Arctic Council Secretariat, 2025-05-12) Sustainable Development Working GroupThe Arctic Council SDWG EALLU Project 2021-2025 focused on Indigenous Traditional Knowledge on food as a foundation for diversification of local economies and new approaches to adapt to Arctic change and food insecurity. This is a contribution to better understand and facilitate adaptation to Arctic change based on the knowledge and resources of affected communities and peoples. This is also a contribution to the fundamentals for innovation by and for Arctic Indigenous peoples. The SDWG EALLU Project has also had active involvement from all the Permanent Participants.Item Study on Gender and Disaggregated Data in the Arctic Region(2025-05-12) Sustainable Development Working GroupThe Gender Equality in the Arctic has been ongoing since 2013 and in May 2021 completed its third phase whose main outcome was a Pan-Arctic Report on Gender Equality in the Arctic (GEA III), published in tandem with the Arctic Council Ministerial Meeting. For those engaged in Arctic social governance, the driving issue behind this report should come as no surprise: the general paucity of regionally comparable sex and gender disaggregated data. This is in part because it is not an issue that is unique to sex and gender disaggregated data. Going back to at least the early 1990s there has been a recognition of the lack of regionally comparable data. Such concerns have been echoed in the Sustainable Development Working Group’s Arctic Human Development Report I and II, as well as in the Arctic Social Indicators Report, published in 2004, 2015, and 2010, respectively. Lack of access to high-quality data makes us, as researchers and policymakers, blind to the issues facing the region’s inhabitants and the potentially unequal impact of these issues across gender identities. As a precursor to further mainstreaming efforts, it was suggested that the GEA project seek collaborations with relevant national statistical agencies, Indigenous and data experts, and that the GEA III report’s lead authors participate in a data challenges workshop to identify major obstacles and potential remedies for moving forward.Item SDWG Project Proposal - Preserving ARCtic ARChitectural Heritage (PrARCHeritage)(SDWG, 2021-11-02) SDWGItem Gender in the Arctic (GEA) III(2019) SDWG
