Disaggregated Data

Climate change in the Arctic affects both environmental, animal, and human health, as well as human wellbeing and societal development. Women and men, and girls and boys are affected differently. Sex-disaggregated data collection is increasingly carried out as a routine in human health research and in healthcare analysis. This study involved a literature review and used a case study design to analyze gender differences in the roles and responsibilities of men and women residing in the Arctic. The theoretical background for gender-analysis is here described together with examples from the Russian Arctic and a literature search. We conclude that a broader gender-analysis of sex-disaggregated data followed by actions is a question of human rights and also of economic benefits for societies at large and of the quality of services as in the health care.

Insight Into

The Arctic Council is an intergovernmental forum promoting cooperation, coordination and interaction among Arctic states, indigenous communities, and peoples on issues of common importance. The rising geo-political importance of the Arctic and the onset of climate change has resulted in the Council becoming a focus of increasing interest from both inside and beyond the Arctic. This has resulted in new demands placed on the Council, attracting an increasing number of participants, and instigating a period of transformation as Arctic states work to find a way to balance conflicting demands to improve the Council’s effectiveness and take care of national interests. This paper considers whether, during this time of change, the Council is having an impact on the issues it was formed to address, i.e., environmental protection and sustainable development. To provide answers, it looks at how the Council reports on and evaluates progress towards the implementation of recommendations it makes regarding biodiversity, how it identifies where activities have had impacts and uncovers the mechanisms through which they were successful, to provide an insight into how the Arctic Council can be an agent of change.

Recently, the developments of ethics and politics in the Arctic region have again become an issue for international discussion. One main issue is the problem of climate change and sustainability of the Arctic region. This problem is linked to the issue of exploitation of natural resources in the Arctic region, not at least in Greenland. Indeed, the general issue is how we should define ethics of the environment and sustainability as a general principle for the Arctic region. It is important to discuss what is at stake and how we define the problem in relation to the different participating stakeholders. This paper deals with these problems as a case for global ethics and it proposes a vision of ethical and political responsibility for sustainable development in order to deal with such problems.

There are presented digital tool development results for the sustainable development of marine activities adapted to climate change and COVID-19 conditions. Arctic and Subarctic are selected as main area of sustainable development of marine activities. Digitalization of geoinformation support for the sustainable development of marine activities is main direction of the research. Aim of the study is to create digital tools of geoinformation support for sustainable development of marine activities, taking into account the above factors. It is proposed to use open-source geoinformation online platforms while the sustainable development of marine activities in the Arctic and Subarctic in the period of Industry 4.0 in the context of climate change and COVID-19. Examples of the use of the proposed digital platforms are considered. The results of the research can be used for educational purposes, as well as be useful for private investors, state and municipal organizations.

Impacts Of Climate Change

Abstract The social and human rights implications of climate change, adaptation and mitigation have received relatively little attention. Yet the human costs of climate change directly threaten fundamental human rights. Equity issues also arise in the climate change context because of its disproportionate impact on already vulnerable people, Indigenous peoples and communities. This article commences with a review of human rights and sustainable development in the specific context of the rights of Indigenous Peoples. It does not undertake a comprehensive study of all aspects of Indigenous environmental governance in the Arctic. Rather, it seeks to explore the wider principles and international standards that are potentially applicable to the social and human rights dimensions of sustainable development in the Arctic in the context of the impacts of climate change.

Article considers digital tools development results for geoinformation support of environmental safety while sustainable development of the Arctic and subarctic territories in the era of Industry 4.0 within adaptation to climate change and COVID-19 conditions. The study used methods of decision-making under uncertainty and digital tools of distributed platforms with new concepts of data acquisition and presentation. It is proposed to use open-source digital online platforms for geoinformation support of environmental safety within sustainable development of the Arctic and subarctic territories in the era of Industry 4.0 and simultaneous adaptation to climate change and COVID-19 conditions. There are considered examples of proposed digital platforms using. The results of the research can be used for managerial, scientific, educational and training purposes.
