This panel explores sustainability in the Arctic through the lens of Indigenous knowledge and experience. Keynote speakers will share insights from their respective research fields, focusing on how past, present, and future changes in the Arctic, particularly in Sápmi, affect Indigenous communities and landscapes. The discussion will highlight how Indigenous perspectives contribute to a deeper understanding of sustainability, resilience, and adaptation in the face of environmental and societal transformation.
