The second Arctic Resilience Forum was held online every Wednesday from 11:30am – 1:00pm (EST) over a series of ten weeks, beginning October 7, 2020. Each session touched on a specific aspect of Arctic resilience.

The forum seeks to actively engage participants in conversations about how to build the resilience of Arctic communities and ecosystems. It offers the opportunity to discuss concrete best practices and experiences from the Council and the broader community of circumpolar experts and knowledge holders. The Arctic Resilience Forum aims to continue to strengthen cooperation on resilience work.
