Abstract
This document constitutes the final report of the Arctic Council Sustainable
Development Working Group’s project on Vulnerability and Adaptation to Climate
Change in the Arctic (VACCA). The VACCA project was initiated on basis of the Salekhard
declaration and had two aims:
• To undertake a scoping study which will collect and disseminate information on
the expertise, existing and ongoing research and strategies/measures on
adaptation to climate change in the Arctic.
• To arrange an international expert/stakeholder workshop in which leading
experts, policy makers, working group representatives and key stakeholders will
meet and discuss relevant issues related to vulnerability and adaptation to
climate change, preparing recommendations for potential future work related to
the issue within the Arctic Council.
