09:30 - 11:00 at Arktikum - Arctic Spirit session
Land use is a contentious topic in the Arctic. In this session, three EU Horizon 2020-funded projects (ArcticHubs, CHARTER, and JUSTNORTH) build from previous exchanges , to share their findings from future-oriented interviews, surveys and workshops and give legal and policy recommendations.
The panel, joined by local representatives, also discusses land use and its linkages to just green transition and continuous needs to safeguard the Arctic climate and habitats. Finally, what are the "what-ifs" and "so-whats" in the decision-making related to land use, and what kind of legacies will the present-day decisions leave for future generations.
