No one knows what the Arctic will look like in 2050. When even the most basic elements are unknown—the price and demand for Arctic resources, scientific innovation and societal acceptance of new technologies, the full regional impact of global climate change, and the uncertain fate of Indigenous languages and cultures—it becomes nearly impossible to determine demographic trajectories, the fate of cities, towns, and villages, the nature of employment in the North, and the most effective political and administrative systems for the Far North.

摘要

No one knows what the Arctic will look like in 2050. When even the most basic elements are unknown—the price and demand for Arctic resources, scientific innovation and societal acceptance of new technologies, the full regional impact of global climate change, and the uncertain fate of Indigenous languages and cultures—it becomes nearly impossible to determine demographic trajectories, the fate of cities, towns, and villages, the nature of employment in the North, and the most effective political and administrative systems for the Far North.
