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.

NSF的10个大创意之一是导航新北极（NNA）。 NNA项目应对北极快速变化的融合科学挑战。需要进行这项北极研究，以告知国家，较大地区和全球的经济，安全和弹性。 NNA赋予从本地量表到国际规模的新研究伙伴关系，使下一代北极研究人员多样化，加强了正规和非正式教育方面的努力，并在适当的情况下整合了知识的共同生产。该奖项通过解决以下NNA焦点领域的社会系统，自然环境和建筑环境之间的互动来实现该目标的一部分：北极居民，数据和观察，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，环境不断变化以及对其治理系统的压力的多个挑战。为了有效做出回应，市长，市议会，代理人，当地公民和居民以及其他利益相关者需要明确的指标，以帮助他们了解北极条件的变化，并为制定基础设施和治理策略提供指导，以实现未来的繁荣和刺激可持续性。这个NNA协作项目评估了城市可持续性的众多问题，并在北极条件上汇编了一套指标，这些指标提供了有关几个问题变化的数据，包括自然环境，能源和社会文化问题。有了这些指标，决策者和利益相关者可以开发有效的治理系统，并设计和建立基础设施，以应对北极城市中自然环境和经济变化的挑战。这种NNA协作扩展了有关北极自然条件的各种主题的指标数据库。该协作通过为北极条件开发新的指标，包括历史数据，能够检查城市可持续性的各个组成部分，从而培养自然，社会和城市规划科学的理论和检验假设。该协作通过组织北极研究界之间的合作，并支持关于自然，社会和建筑环境过渡的融合研究，从而促进了北极城市可持续性的长期研究议程和平台。指标引入了一个共同的词汇，并采用了明确的措施和假设，这些措施和假设使学者和其他学科跨学科互动，同时为理论建设和测试提供基础。该协作与土著和其他社区合作，还参与了北极城市不同的案例研究，以检查城市级别的数据，以了解可持续性的各种要素之间的相互链接。因此，这种NNA协作提高了政策制定者和利益相关者通过提供工具来衡量进度，确定最紧急需求的领域，选择可验证的最佳实践，考试机会成本，并确定外部参与者可以在何处产生最大的影响。该项目得到了NNA计划和国际科学和工程授予的著作（OPE）。利用基金会的知识分子和更广泛的影响审查标准。
