dc.description.abstract | This report discusses the themes (chapter 3), and presents
recommendations (chapter 4), while also highlighting good
practice cases (chapter 5) Specific models for meaningful
engagement of Indigenous Peoples are also presented
(chapter 6).
Good practices were gathered and recommendations
were created under the auspices of the Sustainable Development
Working Group of the Arctic Council during the
Finnish Chairmanship 2017–2019. The work was led by Finland
(Ministry of the Environment), Canada (Crown-Indigenous
Relations and Northern Affairs), Kingdom of Denmark
(Greenland Institute of Natural Resources) and Gwich’in
Council International, which represents Gwich’in across
Alaska (USA), Yukon and the Northwest Territories (Canada)
in its capacity as a Permanent Participant in the Arctic
Council. An Editorial Group was formed to be the joint
working body for the project. It consisted of nominated
members of all the Arctic states and Permanent Participants
of the Arctic Council and a representative of the Arctic
Economic Council.
The Arctic EIA project organized in cooperation with its
local partners three regional workshops. They were held in
Utqiaġvik/Barrow (Alaska, United States), Rovaniemi (Nordic
countries’ workshop, Finland) and Yellowknife (Northwest
Territories, Canada). The workshops were structured
to provide regional perspectives on key EIA challenges, as
well as case studies that are illustrative of a good practice
approach. Workshop participants included EIA practitioners,
government representatives, Indigenous Governments
and Indigenous Peoples’ Organizations, researchers, industry
and other stakeholders. Additional data collection included
an online questionnaire.
To complement the work of the project as a whole, two
research initiatives were carried out: Gwich'in Council International’s
workshop and research paper Emerging Practices
of Indigenous-led Reviews in Environmental Impact Assessment
and the Arctic Centre of the University of Lapland’s
(Finland) research on models to assist in planning meaningful
engagement of Indigenous Peoples. | en_US |
