The Inuit Circumpolar Council (ICC) has released its protocols, The Circumpolar Inuit Protocols on Equitable and Ethical Engagement, aimed at all decision- and policy-makers, researchers, and others operating in the Arctic.
These new protocols are the product of an extensive three-year process that involved Inuit from across Alaska, Canada, Greenland, and Chukotka. Over the last year, Inuit delegates came together in a series of virtual meetings to co-develop protocols to address ongoing concerns. Across the Arctic, there are growing discussions about climate change, increased resource development, expanding research initiatives, and expanding opinions on managing activities. While at the same time, international negotiations on these topics and additional issues such as biodiversity, shipping, animals and plants, and food security are underway that affect the Arctic and our way of life.
The Circumpolar Inuit Protocols on Equitable and Ethical Engagement (or EEE Protocols) provides a pathway to success for international organizations, researchers, decision-, and policy-makers. There are eight protocols in the document. Each one provides guidance and directives to achieve shared goals while respecting Inuit sovereignty and self-determination.
The EEE Protocols and associated materials can be downloaded for free at the Inuit Circumpolar Council websites: Alaska, Canada, Greenland, and Chukotka.
