Today's challenges go beyond government deadlines, territorial disputes, or borders on a map. Addressing these global issues demands immediate collaborative efforts and swift decision-making. The impacts of climate change, the need for sustainable development, and geopolitical tensions are all deeply connected. We must dismantle the barriers between science, business, and policy. This will improve communication and cooperation and ensure that the Arctic can positively influence the world stage.

Digital Health Solutions for Thriving Arctic Communities

Challenging environments, remote communities and limited access to healthcare can be factors in the reduction of wellbeing and mental health across the Arctic. Innovative digital tools are increasing the provisions of healthcare, but require development with the end-users to ensure it fits their needs.
