The Ecosystem-Based Management expert group, which started its work in 2011, has developed four background documents and a final report addressing the group’s recommendations, which include a policy commitment, a definition of EBM in the Arctic, a set of principles for EBM in the Arctic, and a set of high-priority activities for coordinating and improving the EBM work of the Arctic Council. Examples include the need to develop an overarching EBM goal for the Arctic Council, implement international EBM initiatives, and ensure coordination and reporting for EBM activities of the Arctic Council and its working groups. The Expert Group concluded its work by delivering its final report to the Kiruna Ministerial Meeting in May 2013.

    ADVANCING ECOSYSTEM BASED MANAGEMENT (EBM) IN THE WORK OF THE ARCTIC COUNCIL.
    (Arctic Council Secretariat, 2012) Arctic Council Ecosystem Based Management Experts Group
    This paper builds on the intersessional document “Definition and Principles of Ecosystem Based Management in the Arctic”, the findings identified in the “Knowledge and Process Needs for EBM in the Arctic” intersessional document, and the “Compendium of key EBM-related activities by the Arctic Council Working Groups”. Within the context of a common definition for EBM in the Arctic, key findings related to knowledge and process requirements, and the existing work of the Arctic Council’s Working Groups on EBM, the purpose of this paper is to identify potential areas where additional focus by the Arctic Council, including through its Working Groups, can serve to advance EBM and promote its implementation in the Arctic.
