(Research): Conclusions: Building Global Inclusion with Common Interests

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Building Common Interests in the Arctic Ocean with Global Inclusion

Abstract

The premise for Building Common Interests in the Arctic Ocean with Global Inclusion recognizes the Arctic is being transformed profoundly with immediate implications for the residents and our world. The Arctic Ocean is at the center of the Arctic region, which is home to Indigenous peoples for millennia as well as more recent arrivals. The Arctic Ocean also is a bellwether, reflecting the urgent need to produce informed decisions that operate short-to-long term. In the Arctic, the maturing focus on climate – as a “common concern of humankind” since the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change – exemplifies our quest for coordination and cooperation, locally, regionally and more broadly across our world, identifying essentials with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals “for the benefit of all on Earth across generations.”

Notes

  1. 1.

    Search terms (bolded) were discovered comprehensively to reveal relevant chapters (see Table of Contents) with the KnoHow™ knowledge bank (https://knohow.co) for Volume 2. Building Common Interests in the Arctic Ocean with Global Inclusion, using the final PDF files for the initial book compilation to weave these conclusions with all chapters in many contexts, inclusively. The relevant chapters for each search term are indexed below in alphabetical order in the Chapter References (By Search Term).

  2. 2.

    Science as the ‘study of change’ includes natural sciences, social sciences and Indigenous knowledge as complementary research systems that reveal patterns, trends and processes (albeit with different methodologies) that serve as the bases for decisions.

  3. 3.

    See Chap. 1 about the theory, methods and skills of informed decisionmaking as the engine of science diplomacy to build common interests and enhance research capacities, transforming research into action with the apex goal of informed decisions that operate across a ‘continuum of urgencies’.

  4. 4.

    See the Informed Decisionmaking Pyramid (Fig. 1.6) in Chap. 1.

This concluding chapter and those that preceded emerged with Arctic Frontiers 2020, building on the 2018 Memorandum of Understanding with the Science Diplomacy Center on behalf of the editors for the book series on Informed Decisionmaking for Sustainability. This chapter is a product of the Science Diplomacy Center through EvREsearch LTD, coordinating the Arctic Options and Pan-Arctic Options projects with support from the United States National Science Foundation (Award Nos. NSF-OPP 1263819, NSF-ICER 1660449 and NSF-ICER 2103490) along with the Fulbright Arctic Chair 2021–2022 awarded to P.A. Berkman by the United States Department of State and Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs with funding from the United States Congress. These international projects include support also from national science agencies in Canada, China, France, Norway, Russia from 2013 to 2022 in coordination with the Belmont Forum, gratefully acknowledging the collaboration with the University of California Santa Barbara, MGIMO University, Université Pierre et Marie Curie, Norwegian Polar Institute, University of Alaska Fairbanks, University of Colorado Boulder, Carleton University and the Ocean University of China among other institutions throughout this period.
