Lining up with LUKE on the Arctic circle The start of the ArcticHubs project coincided with pandemic lockdown, which meant that face to face meetings were impossible during the project’s first year. Now the coordination team at LUKE in Rovaniemi, Finland, has just finished hosting a fast-moving but highly productive few days where, for the first time since the launch, the project teams have converged as one. For three days …
Globalization is not a singular driving force. Instead, it consists of different kinds of international processes and challenges that may defy a strictly local solution due to their complexity. Climate change is just one example. The Arctic of the 2020s cannot be understood without placing it in the context of global interlinkages and processes that shape its futures and fortunes. Knowledge about global drivers and their local impacts is needed …
Introducing some tools being tested and developed in the ArcticHubs project Welcome to the ArcticHubs project’s tools page!

The project recognises the importance of co-designig solutions with locals and Arctic stakeholders and has curated this page to provide the reader with …
ArcticHubs researchers are drawing upon a range of innovative tools to find solutions to forest land-use conflict in the Arctic region: the Unmanned Forestry Machine (UFM), developed by some of the ArcticHubs partners, Luleå University of Technology in collaboration with Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, is being tested as one of this in WP4 of the project activities. Why is there a need of the UFM? And what …

Interview with Dr. Pasi Rautio, principal scientist at Natural Resources Institute Finland and Project Coordinator at ArcticHubs. As project coordinator of the ArcticHubs, Dr. Pasi Rautio hopes to contribute with his knowledge about natural research, forestry and environmental issues to ensure that the future (exploitation) of Arctic lands, and the competition of the different sectors on it, is more sustainable. In this interview we discuss how he became involved in …
At the heart of the ArcticHubs project are a number of tools that are seeking to access a broad range of views and voices, through which to shape solutions when addressing the urgent challenges around land-use conflict in the Arctic. To avoid an overload of one-way quizzing from researchers – probing for an understanding through which to frame recommendations – ArcticHubs has instead moved towards a co-design approach. Placing an …
