Abstract
PAME’s Work Plan has proceeded in accordance with the Arctic Council Guidelines for the resumption of Working Group/Expert Group work and its 2021-2023 Work Plan (extended to 2025). Based on these Guidelines, PAME prepared a resumption plan and convened regular online meetings with its Heads of Delegations (HoDs) and with the co-chairs of its 5 thematic expert groups in May, June and September 2024 and February 2025. PAME convened expert groups pre-meetings and a plenary meeting from 4-15 November 2024 (PAME I-2024) and from 3-14 March 2025 (PAME-I 2025).
PAME cooperates with other Arctic Council WGs to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the Council. Further, PAME works substantively with Arctic inhabitants, including Indigenous Peoples and local communities, accredited Observers and other Arctic stakeholders to collaborate on a wide range of activities and topics on the Arctic marine environment.
As a follow-up to the Reykjavik Ministerial declaration of May 2021 and the Arctic Council Strategic Plan (2021-2030), PAME has, inter alia, undertaken the following work during the 2021-2025 period.
