1 Adaptation in a Changing Arctic: Ecosystem Services, Communities and Policy Summary Project Leader Smit, Barry This project documents the changing physical, biological and socio-economic conditions that are affecting people in the Arctic and identifies policies and strategies to assist communities in dealing with these changes. The project builds on previous work on the vulnerabilities of Arctic communities, and it is feasible because of established collaborations with northern people and organizations. The project includes case studies in all four of the ArcticNet IRIS regions. One main focus of the project involves integrating scientific and traditional knowledge of ice, permafrost, coastal dynamics and wildlife with information about community use of these ecosystem services. The other main thrust is to identify the opportunities in existing policies and co-management arrangements for adaptation strategies to help communities deal with changing conditions.
