Meeting Description:

Equitable partnership and funding of Indigenous partners is a critical success factor for effective and sustainable development of Arctic observing and data systems.

This session will also provide background on the RNA CoObs project, including ways to collaborate, and provide a preview of the Arctic Observing Summit 2024 where the same topic will be addressed in an international context.
