Youth engagement in the Arctic Council [Video]

Over the past years, the Arctic Council has stepped up its efforts to engage youth. Working Groups such as the Conservation of Arctic Flora and Fauna (CAFF) and the Sustainable Development Working Group (SDWG) have been forerunners in not just looking at how youth is affected by a changing Arctic, but in actively involving them in specific projects.

In this interview we speak about ongoing initatives and future steps in youth engagement with Jennifer Spence, the Executive Secretary of the Sustainable Development Working Group, Tom Barry, the Executive Secretary of the Conservation of Arctic Flora and Fauna Working Group, and Pétur Halldórsson, co-founder of the Arctic Youth Network
