This 3-year research project will develop and demonstrate an international, interdisciplinary and inclusive process to enhance the practice of governance for sustainability in Arctic coastal-marine systems, balancing: (a) national interests and common interests, (b) environmental protection, social equity, and economic prosperity, and (c) the needs of present and future generations. We will use geospatial integration and interdisciplinary data aggregation to document biophysical and socioeconomic changes occurring in the Arctic and to develop scenarios exploring how these complex patterns of change are likely to play out over the coming decades. This assessment will include all four ArcSEES themes (Natural and Living Environment; Built Environment; Natural Resource Development; and Governance) and provide a point of departure for the use of institutional diagnostics to examine effective strategies for addressing current issues of Arctic governance. To lend substance to the analysis, we will direct attention to three "hot spots": Bering Strait and the Beaufort and Chukchi Seas (United States, Canadian and Russian interests), the Barents Sea (Norwegian and Russian interests), and West Greenland (Greenlandic, Danish, and Canadian interests). In the process, we will engage people associated with bodies like the Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment of the North-East Atlantic, whose remit extends into the Arctic Ocean. To enhance cost-effectiveness, the project will collaborate with the SEARCH (Study of Environmental Change: www.arcus.org/search) and ACCESS (Arctic Climate Change, Economy and Society: www.access-eu.org) projects that are supported extensively within the United States and Europe, respectively. The project, which is jointly funded by the National Science Foundation and Centre Nationale de al Recherche Scientifique, will add value through partnerships with the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (www.nceas.ucsb.edu) in the United States and institutions in France associated with the ACCESS project as well as the Ice Atmosphere Arctic Ocean Observing System project (www.iaoos-equipex.upmc.fr). The holistic process we develop to generate and share options for Arctic coastal-marine sustainability will be memorialized by publications and through a video series emphasizing lessons of ?science diplomacy? to further stimulate education by and for the benefit of all stakeholders - representatives of government agencies, academia, industry, non-governmental organizations, and civil society. The sustainability process we develop and demonstrate in this project focusing on the Arctic Ocean will have implications everywhere on Earth where resources, human activities, and their impacts extend across or beyond the boundaries of sovereign states.

这个为期3年的研究项目将开发和展示一个国际、跨学科和包容性的进程，以加强北极沿海-海洋系统可持续发展的治理实践，平衡：(a)国家利益和共同利益，(b)环境保护、社会公平和经济繁荣，以及(c)当代和后代的需求。我们将使用地理空间整合和跨学科数据汇总来记录北极发生的生物物理和社会经济变化，并开发场景，探索这些复杂的变化模式在未来几十年可能如何发挥作用。该评估将包括ArcSEES的所有四个主题（自然和生活环境、建筑环境、自然资源开发和治理），并为使用机构诊断来检查解决当前北极治理问题的有效战略提供一个出发点。为了使分析更有实质内容，我们将重点关注三个“热点”：白令海峡、波弗特海和楚科奇海（美国、加拿大和俄罗斯的利益）、巴伦支海（挪威和俄罗斯的利益）和西格陵兰岛（格陵兰、丹麦和加拿大的利益）。在这一过程中，我们将与《保护东北大西洋海洋环境公约》等机构有关的人员进行接触，该公约的职权范围已延伸至北冰洋。为了提高成本效益，该项目将与分别在美国和欧洲得到广泛支持的SEARCH（环境变化研究：www.arcus.org/search）和ACCESS（北极气候变化、经济和社会：www.access-eu.org）项目合作。该项目由美国国家科学基金会和国家科学研究中心共同资助，将通过与美国国家生态分析与综合中心（www.nceas.ucsb.edu）和与ACCESS项目有关的法国机构以及冰大气北冰洋观测系统项目（www.iaoos-equipex.upmc.fr）建立伙伴关系来增加价值。我们为产生和分享北极海岸-海洋可持续性的备选办法而制定的整体进程将通过出版物和一系列强调经验教训的视频加以纪念。科学外交?通过政府机构、学术界、工业界、非政府组织和民间社会等所有利益相关者的代表，进一步促进教育并使其受益。我们在这个以北冰洋为重点的项目中开发和展示的可持续发展过程将对地球上的任何地方产生影响，在那里，资源、人类活动及其影响将跨越或超越主权国家的边界。
