IIASA and the Arctic Circle
A vast and rapid transformation of the Arctic and surrounding areas is taking place. Climate, environmental, and socioeconomic drivers may interact and amplify, making decision making in a rapidly changing Arctic difficult and uncertain. Changes may increase existing pressures in the Arctic, while others may bring new opportunities. The objective of the IIASA Arctic Futures Initiative (AFI) is a holistic assessment of the Arctic. The project will involve stakeholders, such as policy and businesses, in dialogue already from the planning stage, through implementation to final aims. The IIASA AFI perspective is a holistic perspective integrating research, policy, business, and society. IIASA is a neutral venue for facilitating discussions, collaboration, new methods and approaches.
