This award provides partial support for an international workshop on "Arctic sustainable development and knowledge sharing" in September 2017 in Inari, northern Finland. The goal of the workshop is to promote knowledge integration and to improve understanding of the relationships between knowledge co-production, international collaboration, and sustainable development in the Arctic from science, policy, and community perspectives. The proposed workshop would take place on September 18-20, 2017, immediately prior to the Arctic Council (AC) Sustainable Development Working Group's (SDWG) meeting (September 21-22, 2017).  The workshop has been organized to take place prior to the September SDWG meeting in order to facilitate the participation of SDWG member states representatives, Arctic Council Observer organization representatives, Permanent Participant representatives, as well as the AC science working group members. By scheduling the workshop in this way, it will provide for broader participation by key international policy makers, as well as scientists and Indigenous scholars. In addition, this will provide for an economy of scale since a number of the invited participants will already be supported by their organizations to participate in the SDWG meeting.  The workshop will produce publicly available materials, which could be used for educational and knowledge dissemination purposes. These will include a final report documenting the essence of the presentations and discussions and a summary for policymakers. During the Canadian Chairmanship of the AC, at the 9th Ministerial Meeting in Iqaluit, 2015, the SDWG made recommendations to the Senior Arctic Officials through the official delivery of the "Recommendations for the Integration of Traditional and Local Knowledge into the Work of the Arctic Council." In the two years since this event, the SDWG and AC have debated how exactly to implement these recommendations. There is wide recognition among the Arctic social science community, Indigenous and non-indigenous scholars, that the new developing model of knowledge co-production in science research could offer a model for assisting the AC in these efforts of the integration of Traditional Knowledge into its work. This workshop would be part of a broader effort between the Senior Arctic Officials of the Arctic Council and the Permanent Participants to find common ground on how to incorporate Traditional Knowledge into the proceedings of the Council. An important trend in Arctic sustainability research in the last decade is the increasing integration of the local and Indigenous knowledge as a key component of the Arctic sustainability knowledge system. Knowledge co-production has become the state-of-the-art in Arctic, and Arctic Indigenous scholars and communities are leading the way in developing co-production methodologies and formulating holistic, integrated approaches to understanding coupled and dynamic social-ecological systems. Engaging Indigenous knowledge in scholarship and policymaking is a monumental task that requires combined, collaborative efforts of Indigenous communities, social scientists and policymakers. Building connections and bridges by creating international, interdisciplinary knowledge exchange opportunities among all groups involved is an important element of an interdisciplinary, integrated approach to sustainable development in the Arctic.

该奖项为2017年9月在芬兰北部的Inari举行的有关“北极可持续发展和知识共享”的国际研讨会提供了部分支持。研讨会的目的是促进知识融合，并提高对知识共同生产，国际合作和可持续发展之间关系的理解，从科学，政策和社区角度来看。拟议的研讨会将于2017年9月18日至20日举行，在北极委员会（AC）可持续发展工作组（SDWG）会议（2017年9月21日至22日）之前举行。该研讨会是在9月SDWG会议之前举办的，以促进SDWG成员国的参与代表，北极理事会观察员组织代表，永久参与者代表以及AC科学工作组成员。通过以这种方式安排研讨会，它将提供主要的国际决策者以及科学家和土著学者的更广泛参与。此外，这将提供规模经济，因为许多受邀参与者将得到其组织参加SDWG会议的支持。该研讨会将生产公开的材料，可用于教育和知识传播目的。这些将包括一份最终报告，记录了演讲和讨论的本质以及政策制定者的摘要。在2015年在伊卡卢特举行的第9届部长级会议上，在AC的加拿大主席期间，SDWG通过正式提供“将传统和当地知识融入北极理事会的工作的建议”向北极官员提出了建议。在此事件以来的两年中，SDWG和AC辩论了如何确切实施这些建议。在北极社会科学界（土著和非土著学者）之间，人们对科学研究中知识共同生产的新发展模型具有广泛的认可，可以提供一个模型，以协助AC将传统知识融入其工作的这些努力。该研讨会将是北极理事会高级官员与永久参与者之间更广泛努力的一部分，以寻找如何将传统知识纳入理事会会议录的共同点。过去十年来，北极可持续性研究的一个重要趋势是，将本地知识和土著知识作为北极可持续性知识系统的关键组成部分的融合。知识共同生产已成为北极的最先进，北极本土学者和社区正在领导开发联合生产方法并制定整体，综合方法，以理解耦合和动态的社会生态系统。在科学和决策中吸引土著知识是一项每月任务，需要对土著社区，社会科学家和政策制定者进行合并的合作努力。通过在所有涉及的所有群体之间创建国际，跨学科知识交流的机会来建立联系和桥梁是北极可持续发展的跨学科，综合方法的重要组成部分。
