Update on ACS Activities in 2015.

Abstract

This report gives an update on the Arctic Council Secretariat’s (ACS) activities in 2015 (through the end of September 2015). The ACS activities have supported the approved functions of the ACS as described in the work plan approved at the SAO meeting in Whitehorse 22-23 October, 2013, while also addressing other requests made by SAOs or by the Chairmanship. In general, the ACS is on track to accomplish its tasks as described in the approved work plan. Expenditures so far in 2015 are well within the approved budget for ACS in 2015.
