Navigating the New Arctic (NNA) is one of NSF’s 10 Big Ideas. NNA projects address convergence scientific challenges in the rapidly changing Arctic. This Arctic research is needed to inform the economy, security and resilience of the Nation, the larger region and the globe. NNA empowers new research partnerships from local to international scales, diversifies the next generation of Arctic researchers, enhances efforts in formal and informal education, and integrates the co-production of knowledge where appropriate. This award fulfills part of that aim by addressing interactions among social systems, natural environment, and built environment in the following NNA focus areas: Arctic Residents, Data and Observation, Education, Global Impact, and Resilient Infrastructure. Arctic cities face multiple challenges from social and economic transformations, deteriorating infrastructure, a changing environment, and pressures on their governance systems. To respond effectively, mayors, city councils, agency leaders, local citizens and residents, and other stakeholders need a clear set of indicators to help them understand changes in Arctic conditions and provide guidance in devising infrastructure and governance strategies to achieve future prosperity and spur sustainability. This NNA Collaboratory project assesses numerous issues of urban sustainability and compiles a set of metrics on Arctic conditions that provides data about changes in several issues, including the natural environment, energy, and socio-cultural issues. With these indicators, policymakers and stakeholders can develop effective governance systems and design and build infrastructure to meet the challenges of a shifting natural environment and economy in Arctic urban areas. This NNA Collaboratory expands upon a database of indicators on various topics in numerous cities on natural conditions in the Arctic. The Collaboratory cultivates theories and test hypotheses in the natural, social, and urban planning sciences by developing new indicators for Arctic conditions that include historical data, enabling examination of dynamic trends and relationships among the various components of urban sustainability. The Collaboratory advances a long-term research agenda and platform around Arctic urban sustainability by organizing collaborations among the Arctic research community and facilitating convergence research on the natural, social, and built environment transitions taking place in and around Arctic cities now and in the future. Indicators introduce a shared vocabulary with explicit measures and assumptions that allow scholars and others across disciplines to interact while providing a foundation for theory building and testing. Working with Indigenous and other communities, the Collaboratory also engages in case studies of divergent Arctic urban areas to examine city-level data for interlinkages among assorted elements of sustainability. Consequently, this NNA Collaboratory improves the ability of policymakers and stakeholders to promote sustainability by providing tools to measure progress, identify areas of most urgent need, select verifiable best practices, examine opportunity costs, and determine where external actors can have the greatest impact.This project is supported by the NNA Program and the Office of International Science and Engineering (OISE).This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

航行新北极 (NNA) 是 NSF 的 10 大创意项目之一，旨在解决快速变化的北极地区的融合科学挑战，为国家、更大地区和全球的经济、安全和复原力提供信息。 NNA 授权从地方到国际范围内的新研究伙伴关系，使下一代北极研究人员多样化，加强正规和非正规教育方面的努力，并在适当的情况下整合知识的共同生产。该奖项通过以下方式实现了部分目标。解决以下 NNA 重点领域的社会系统、自然环境和建筑环境之间的相互作用：北极居民、数据和观测、教育、全球影响和弹性基础设施 北极城市面临社会和经济转型、基础设施恶化、气候变化等多重挑战。为了有效应对不断变化的环境以及治理系统面临的压力，市长、市议会、机构领导人、当地公民和居民以及其他利益相关者需要一套明确的指标来帮助他们了解北极条件的变化并为设计基础设施提供指导。和治理策略该 NNA 合作项目评估了许多城市可持续发展问题，并编制了一套有关北极条件的指标，提供了有关自然环境、能源和社会文化问题等多个问题的变化的数据。该 NNA 合作项目扩展了众多城市自然条件各种主题的指标数据库。北极合作社。通过开发包括历史数据在内的北极条件新指标，培育自然、社会和城市规划科学方面的理论和测试假设，从而能够检查可持续城市各个组成部分之间的动态趋势和关系。通过组织北极研究界之间的合作，促进对北极城市及其周边地区现在和未来发生的自然、社会和建筑环境转变的融合研究，围绕北极城市可持续发展制定议程和平台。指标引入了具有明确措施的共享词汇。以及允许学者和其他人跨学科互动，同时为理论构建和测试提供基础，该实验室还对不同的北极城市地区进行案例研究，以检查城市层面的数据，以了解各种可持续性要素之间的相互联系。 NNA Collaboratory 通过提供衡量进展的工具、确定最迫切需要的领域、选择可验证的最佳实践、机会检查成本以及确定外部参与者可以在哪些方面产生最大影响，提高政策制定者和利益相关者促进可持续发展的能力。该项目得到支持由NNA 计划和国际科学与工程办公室 (OISE)。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
