2022-2026年北极研究计划优先考虑四个领域:社区复原力和健康、北极系统相互作用、可持续经济和生计,以及风险管理和减灾。这些优先领域涉及人与环境之间的关系以及迫切需要的研究,以更好地了解和应对地球上变化最快的地区。该计划的封面图汇集了北极的许多自然和文化元素,包括参与式研究的重要性、土著在研究中的领导作用以及学术科学与土著知识之间的知识合作。
The Arctic Research Plan 2022-2026 prioritizes four areas: Community Resilience and Health, Arctic Systems Interactions, Sustainable Economies and Livelihoods, and Risk Management and Hazard Mitigation. These priority areas address the relationships between people and the environment and the urgently needed research to better understand and respond to the most rapidly changing region on Earth. The plan’s cover graphic brings together many of the natural and cultural elements of the Arctic, including the importance of participatory research, Indigenous leadership in research, and co-production of knowledge between academic science and Indigenous Knowledge. The center art was produced by Molly Trainor (mollytrainor.com), an artist, designer, and copywriter from Nome, Alaska. Molly’s Iñupiaq heritage influences her work, which is aimed at cultural heritage preservation by combining traditional technology and science subjects, storytelling, and pop culture. Design of the complete cover graphic was produced by Eric Cline of TerraGraphica.
