We start off by discussive Inclusive Arctic Partnerships:

"The issue of inclusivity and indigenous peoples' rights should not be thought of as an obstacle, but as a platform of partnerships where issued can be solved."

"We have heard in this room the reference to discovery of minerals on indigenous land. We are not celebrating this.
We have grown quite tired of hearing how Saami are always slowing development. It is often a curse word for indigenous people: development at whose expense?"

"We must work together to ensure equal access to partnerships processes."
"We have complex challenges needing continuing partnerships to find diverse solutions to diverse issues."

#Indigenous people are the “the cornerstones of the diversity and plurality that characterises the #Arctic. In its history, and in the definition of the many Arctics.”

Closining the 1st day of the #EUArcticForum & Indigenous Peoples' Dialogue with @VSinkevicius:

"What happens in the Arctic does not stay in the Arctic.
It is an intrinsic part of the world, not a peripheral region. And we in the EU believe that the Arctic has a bright future".

“The most important question is: how do we get students to stay? If we put the focus on education, there should be equal efforts on job opportunities."

“Being named a European Capital of Culture is an opportunity to show that the #Arctic is a place where people live, play, work and study.
It generates creativity, opportunities and creates a sense of pride.”

In 2021, the #EU updated its #Arctic Policy to enhance due recognition to the role of #Indigenous as well as regional organisations.

“Arctic peoples have in common that they're on the front lines of cliamte change, their stories bring its consequences to life.

But they also have a #diversity of needs.

High level policies need to be structures as broad frameworks that can be adapted to unique local context.”

"Traditional #indigenous territories encompass 30% of the earth, in which we find 80% its #biodiversity.

Indigenous people have a long tradition of safeguarding biodiversity for future generation thanks to their scientific #knowledge and effective land tenure. "

“We have historically low unemployment rate in Greenland.

We need to keep working on making this a good place to live, a good place to work, a good place for business communities.”

“The EU is putting forward the Critical Raw Materials Act. The world that we see today is one where we have a global race to get the materials, we need to go green and clean. And we have a plan to do this. And we must go fast.”

“In the past mining operations that heavily polluted the fjords and sea. Greenland is a nation that depends on the natural environment. Pollution of the ocean is not acceptable. By learning the hard way, we have put in place a legal system that prevents that. And it is working.”
