ABOUT JUSTNORTH

An EU Funded project

THE JUSTNORTH PROJECT

JUSTNORTH is bringing the values of Arctic stakeholders to economic development decision-making through understanding current practices, policies, and perspectives of development in the Arctic. The results of the project provide policy recommendations for municipalities, regional or national governments, and the EU, by evaluating existing economic activities in 17 case studies. This work is bringing both negative and positive indicators of value in economic activities.

Introduction to the project 

JUSTNORTH seeks to build a framework for sustainable development in the Arctic. Researchers are exploring the multiple value systems that converge when specific development projects are proposed in order to identify common core values that can create linkages rather than barriers between competing ethical and value systems.

JUSTNORTH OVERVIEW

Why is justice a crucial element in Arctic development? If development in the Arctic is carried out in ways that local communities do not perceive as ethical and just, then development will be unsustainable. JUSTNORTH’s goals are to develop a negotiation tool that provides diverse perspectives in economic development projects and create the potential for achieving sustainable outcomes premised on actor-specific values.
