In December 2021, U.S. federal Interagency Arctic Research Policy Committee (IARPC) released the new Arctic Research Plan 2022-2026. The new plan is a bold strategy for a changing Arctic and will help deliver science and knowledge to decision-makers in the Arctic and beyond. This session will provide an opportunity to learn about the Arctic Research Plan 2022-2026 and how to participate in and contribute ideas towards its implementation.

The Arctic Research Plan has four main priority areas: Community Resilience and Health, Arctic Systems Interactions, Sustainable Economies and Livelihoods, and Risk Management and Hazard Mitigation. In April 2022, Federal drafting teams will be developing an implementation plan for the Arctic Research Plan and are seeking input and comment on implementation ideas.
