COP27 Video of the Week: “Co-producing Adaptation Strategies to the Climate Crisis in the Arctic” with Susan Natali and Áslat Holmberg

Arctic Indigenous Peoples face a complex landscape of environmental hazards due to climate change. Many Arctic communities are experiencing escalating loss and damage; encompassing loss of land, cultural heritage, and local and Indigenous knowledge. This session offered solutions on how scientists, Indigenous knowledge-holders, and decision-makers can come together to overcome the obstacles faced by complex adaptation needs.

Dr. Rachael Treharne, Research Scientist and Arctic Policy Lead at the Woodwell Climate Research Center, moderated the event. Panelists included Áslat Holmberg, President of the Saami Council; Dr. Susan Natali, Arctic Program Director and Senior Scientist at Woodwell; and local speakers from Yukaghir in far northern Russia, and St. Lawrence Island in Alaska.
