IRIS 2 Regional Workshop – Iqaluit, NU

ArcticNet’s Eastern Arctic (IRIS-2) Regional Science Meeting (RSM) was held from 6 to 8 November 2012 at the Parish Hall in Iqaluit, Nunavut

The RSM brought together lead authors of the Eastern Arctic Regional Impact Assessment to share and present their draft chapters to a wide range of decision-makers for feedback.

The meeting was organized around daily workshops focused on key regional issues which also form the structure of the report: 1) Public Health and Safety, 2) Resource Management, and 3) Socio-economic Development.

More than 100 regional decision-makers and experts from 21 organizations contributed to the discussions. Their comments and feedback will help guide final chapter writing and content, thereby making the report more effective and useful for the region.

The IRIS-2 team is indebted to all regional participants and ArcticNet investigators for their active participation in the Regional Science Meeting (RSM) in Iqaluit.
