Virtual Event

From climate change adaptation to broadband connectivity to the rights of Indigenous peoples, Arctic youth leaders’ policy issues are Arctic policy issues. Over two half-days, The Arctic in 25 Years symposium will gather emerging Arctic leaders to inform and influence potential Arctic policy for the next generation. Panelists represent all eight Arctic states, as well as Indigenous peoples who live there. Based on the research they conducted, policies they coordinated, as well as traditional lifestyles and subsistence missions they’ve led, youth leaders will discuss the Arctic they envision for the future and the actions needed to achieve it. Please join the Wilson Center’s Polar Institute, with Arctic Frontiers and the Arctic Council Permanent Participants' Youth (supported by the Arctic Council Indigenous Peoples’ Secretariat), for the first annual International Youth Symposium, The Arctic in 25 Years.

Speakers to be announced.
