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月在芬兰北方伊纳里举办的“北极可持续发展与知识共享”国际研讨会提供部分支持。该研讨会的目标是促进知识整合，并从科学，政策和社区的角度提高对知识共同生产，国际合作和北极可持续发展之间关系的理解。拟议的研讨会将于2017年9月18日至20日举行，就在北极理事会（AC）可持续发展工作组（SDWG）会议（2017年9月21日至22日）之前。 该研讨会安排在可持续发展工作组9月会议之前举行，以便利可持续发展工作组成员国代表、北极理事会观察员组织代表、常驻参与者代表以及北极适应性公约科学工作组成员的参与。以这种方式安排讲习班，将使主要的国际决策者以及科学家和土著学者能够更广泛地参与。此外，由于一些受邀与会者已经得到其组织的支助，可以参加可持续发展工作组会议，这将产生规模经济，讲习班将制作可供公众使用的材料，用于教育和知识传播目的。在加拿大担任北极协调委员会主席期间，在2015年伊卡卢伊特举行的第九届部长级会议上，可持续发展工作组通过正式提交“关于将传统和地方知识纳入北极理事会工作的建议”，向北极高级官员提出了建议。“自这次会议后的两年，可持续发展工作小组和谘询委员会一直就如何落实这些建议进行辩论。北极社会科学界、土著和非土著学者普遍认识到，科学研究中共同生产知识的新发展模式可以为协助北极理事会努力将传统知识纳入其工作提供一个模式。该讲习班将是北极理事会北极高级官员与常设参与方之间更广泛努力的一部分，目的是就如何将传统知识纳入理事会的议事程序找到共同点。 在过去十年中，北极可持续性研究的一个重要趋势是越来越多地整合当地和土著知识，作为北极可持续性知识体系的一个关键组成部分。知识共同生产已成为北极地区的最先进技术，北极土著学者和社区正在领导开发共同生产方法，并制定全面，综合的方法来理解耦合和动态的社会生态系统。让土著知识参与学术研究和政策制定是一项艰巨的任务，需要土著社区、社会科学家和政策制定者共同努力。通过在所有相关群体之间创造国际、跨学科知识交流机会，建立联系和桥梁，是对北极可持续发展采取跨学科、综合办法的一个重要因素。
