Policy Brief 4: The planning of Arctic Landscapes and Seascapes and Its Impact on Sustainability

This JUSTNORTH policy brief considers issues of planning and shaping in the Arctic through the prism of the impact that the main economic activities conducted in the region have on landscapes and seascapes. Special attention has been given to competing uses of these spaces in relation to questions of justice. As an outcome of this research, planning and shaping appears to be intertwined with decision-making, as access to decision-making processes determines the stakeholders' influence on the management of spaces and their uses.
