Arctic: Perspectives on Climate Change and Food Insecurity in Nuvanut
Using a single case study of food insecurity in the Arctic, multi-disciplinary panelists will theorise root causes and effects of food insecurity and climate change, and assess potential solutions. Aiming our attention at one empirical example will facilitate a focus on theoretical explanations with the goal of sharpening analysis and pinpointing what kinds of actions must be taken now.
Objectives
-
Deepen analysis of human/food security through a critical, multi-disciplinary social sciences approach
-
Address the question of why there has been limited momentum to formulate policies to address the risks of climate change to human security
-
Enhance political awareness, deepen knowledge, and strengthen the knowledge-policy interface, offering recommendations specifically for policy makers to better secure peace and cooperation
