As well as being important for indigenous peoples’ societies in the Barents area, the AACA has also been important for the scientific community and has enabled new insights and understanding based on different worldviews, knowledge, and values. Developing adaptation strategies using all available knowledge will ensure a more holistic approach, one that offers security and a more predictable future for indigenous societies in the Barents area. Engaging indigenous communities and including their traditional knowledge in planning for adaptation action in the Barents area is thus essential. Universities and colleges in the Barents area should develop a joint collaboration model for adaptation training, based on traditional and scientific knowledge.The University of the Arctic could provide the network and platform for such a collaboration. In this respect, it is very important that the flow of information and insights within indigenous peoples’ communities is increased in the direction of both scientific study and policy implementation.
