Sustainability & Climate
Across the Arctic, sustainability and climate science are no longer peripheral—they are central to understanding the region’s transformation and global relevance. As permafrost thaws, ecosystems shift, and extreme weather intensifies, new tools—from quantum climate models to community-driven monitoring networks—are reshaping how we perceive change and prepare for its consequences. From remote sensing satellites to Indigenous knowledge systems, Arctic sustainability is no longer just about mitigation—it’s about adaptation, foresight, and equity.
Research Highlights
🔗 1. “September Sea Ice” by Sigrid JørgensenSummit Essay
From childhood memories on Norway’s northern coast to conversations with Dr. Jian Li and Dr. Ánne Ravdna, Sigrid Jørgensen traces the emotional and geopolitical shift in a rapidly warming Arctic. September sea ice routinely falling below one million square kilometers has opened a landscape of both promise and peril—one shaped by uncertain technologies, fragile infrastructure, and communities adapting without adequate influence. This essay sets the tone for the Climate Stream: a call to understand not just how the Arctic is changing, but for whom—and at what cost.
🔗 2. “The Resilient Hull, The Adaptive Route, The Thawing Ground“ by
Dr. Jian Li
Keynote Speaker
Advances in icebreaking vessels, AI-driven navigation, and permafrost-adaptive infrastructure are pushing the boundaries of Arctic logistics—but microclimate volatility, unpredictable fracture patterns, and incomplete situational awareness continue to challenge unescorted winter operations. This research underscores the urgent need for standardized data sharing, material validation, and international technical cooperation.…
🔗 3. “Digital Fires & the Sámi Stand” by Sigrid Jørgensen and Dr. Ánne Ravdna
Keynote Speaker
As extractive industries expand and the New Climate Economy encroaches on Sámi territories, Indigenous leaders push back with innovation. From mesh networks for nomadic herders and AI tutors in endangered dialects to immersive digital advocacy campaigns, Sámi technologists are creating sovereignty through infrastructure—and demanding co-management interfaces between AI and Indigenous decision-making…
