Yfirstandandi verkefni
WAGE (Arctic Economy and Social Transitions
Styrkt af SSHRC (Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada)
Leitt af Gérard Duhaime, University of Laval, Quebec
Dr. Joan Nymand Larsen is co-investigator and leading a case study in South Greenland investigating social and economic inequalities in Nanortalik, Narsaq, and Qaqortoq. Our research will demonstrate some of the internal structures, issues and challenges in the Arctic region today that perpetuate power imbalances, inequalities, and the unequal distribution of economic costs and benefits. The main objectives are to analyse key components and drivers of economic change and transitions, and to study their impacts on distributional outcomes, and with attention to institutional changes; to gather and analyse local perspectives on economic change and development with a focus on distributional issues and power imbalances, and with attention to critical trade-offs. The case study contributes to the WAGE partnership‘s overall objectives of describing and investigating the current state of inequalities and the study of the distribution of wealth and its dynamics.

NUNATARYUK
NUNATARYUK er alþjóðlegt rannsóknarverkefni fjármagnað af Horizon 2020 sjóðI Evrópusambandsins og fjallar um áhrif bráðnunar sífrera á loftslagsbreytingar og samfélög manna. Við verkefnið starfar vísindafólk í fremstu röðum í nánu samstarfi við hagsmunaaðila við að skilja áhrif sífrerabráðnunar og þróa leiðir til viðbragðs og aðlögunar við þeim breytingum sem slíkri bráðnun fylgja. Stofnun Vilhjálms Stefánssonar er ein 28 stofnana í 12 löndum sem tekur þátt í verkefninu. Verkefninu lýkur 2023.
Þátttaka SVS: Dr. Joan Nymand Larsen og Dr. Jón Haukur Ingimundarson. Joan Nymand Larsen er í leiðandi hlutverki í vinnuhópi 9 sem snýr að aðlögun og mildun og stýrir þar að auki tilviksrannsókn í Ilulissat á Grænlandi.

Marine SABRES (Marine Systems Approaches for Biodiversity Resilience and Ecosystem Sustainability) is a research project funded by the European Union that aims to conserve and protect biodiversity by integrating healthy, sustainably-used ecosystems and a resilient blue economy. To do so, Marine SABRES brings together international experts across the biological and social sciences to improve the management of Europe’s oceans and seas.
Fulltrúi SVS: Catherine Chambers tekur þátt í að leiða þann hluta Marine Sabres er lítur að sjávarútvegi á norðurslóðum. Vefsíða MARINE SABRES https://www.marinesabres.eu/

LIVING ON THE EDGE PROJECT
Living on the Edge project looks at the ecological shifts in the North Atlantic over time. To learn more about what species were living in the sea, we look on land, in our archives and museums to find fishing records, objects and references in the landscape. Living on the Edge is a pre-project funded by the Northern Periphery and Arctic programme.
Project partners: Museum Nord, University of Tromsø, Trinity College Dublin, Stefansson Arctic Institute. https://www.museumnord.no/en/projects/living-on-the-edge-project/
