Welcome to Dataset 10: This policy brief evaluates justice and sustainable development in resource ownership and management in the North.
This policy brief on Environmental and social assessments (EIA and SIA) shape decisions. JUSTNORTH's research highlights their intricate influence on Arctic justice, involving challenges like delayed EIA processes, limited social impact consideration, and merging scientific and traditional knowledge. Cumulative impacts, legacy injustices, and balancing global climate benefits with local effects also pose hurdles within the Arctic's regulatory framework.
