Does this concept concern only human-influenced natural ecosystems or are we considering it from a holistic perspective? First of all, we are talking about a human living in these harsh lands and treating the environment carefully, knowing how fragile the nature of the Arctic and the North is and how long it takes to recover from wounds.<\/p>\n Which development path will ensure harmony between exploration and conservation? What is the role of each person, urban or rural settlement, and region in improving the quality of life, creating comfortable conditions for residents, taking into account the need to mitigate environmental damage, preserve and enrich biodiversity? Are there successful practices in the world that can be applied to various extents in the conditions of the Arctic and the North? To secure true resilience of the Arctic, as a macro-region that affects the life of the entire planet, it is necessary to ensure an effective and constructive synthesis of government, business, science, education, and indigenous communities.<\/p>\n The main theme corresponds with SDG 11.<\/p>\n FORMAT <\/strong><\/p>\n The Forum will be a hybrid event (offline\/online).<\/p>\n Simultaneous Russian-English interpreting is provided.<\/p>\n Formats of the Forum\u2019s events:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong>ARCHITECTURE OF THE FORUM<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
