Project Overview for Arctic Council Working Groups and Permanent Participants

Sustaining Arctic Observing Networks (SAON) is a key player in the support of multinational engagement for sustained and coordinated pan-Arctic observing and data-sharing system, co-sponsored by the Arctic Council and IASC for a number of years.

The AMAP Secretariat, which serves as the Secretariat for SAON, joined the EU funded Arctic PASSION project (2021-2025) as a  partner with the goal of further developing and enhancing SAON. In this role, the AMAP Secretariat also offered to establish a dialogue among the Arctic Council (AC) and its six Working Groups (WGs) to provide information on Arctic PASSION activities of relevance to the AC and its WGs, as well as to receive feedback and suggestions for further work in the project.

This report provides an overview of the main outcomes of Arctic PASSION that will be very valuable to the work going forward of the Arctic Council Working Groups and their expert groups. It is also published as a project deliverable report via Zenodo.
