Adaptation actions for a changing Arctic (AACA): Barents area - overview report

This overview report is based upon the AACA science assessment for the Barents area. The study focuses on the diverse challenges that residents have experienced and the adaptations they have begun to plan and implement in response to the rapid changes in climate, landscape, wildlife, and social and economic systems that have occurred in recent decades and are expected in future.

It considers the environmental and socio-economic changes to which inhabitants in the area are and will be adapting to, and provides a number of observations intended to help inform decision makers about how they might help their communities adapt to future changes.
