Hi all,

FYI. The final report of ICARP III (Third International Conference on Arctic Research Planning) was just published. We've added it also on our website http://www.apecs.is/news/partner-news/1364-integrating-arctic-research-a-roadmap-for-the-future.html

APECS was a partner to this process and Sanna (ccd) here was our amazing rep on the ICARP III Steering Committee for the past 2 years. Sanna and I had been helping with the capacity building chapter of the report.

Cheers,

Gerlis

Integrating Arctic Research - a Roadmap for the Future

The official outcomes of the Third International Conference on Arctic Research Planning (ICARP III) were published online today. The enclosed report, entitled "Integrating Arctic Research – A Roadmap for the Future" presents the key messages that emerged from the 2-year ICARP III process. 

Initiated by the International Arctic Science Committee (IASC) with engagement from its partners, ICARP III provided a process for integrating priorities for forward-looking, collaborative, interdisciplinary Arctic research and observing, and for establishing an inventory of recent and current synthesis documents and major developments in Arctic research. The report identifies the most important Arctic research needs and provides a roadmap for research priorities and partnerships. The ICARP process points the way for scientists to take action, in cooperation with rights holders and stakeholders, to produce results that will have global impact. It concludes that the role of the Arctic in the global system, the prediction of future climate dynamics and ecosystem responses, and improved understanding of the vulnerability and resilience of Arctic environments and societies must be prioritized.

For more information please see the enclosed report and visit the ICARP III website: http://icarp.iasc.info.
