Six Thematic Areas

  • Energy Transition: SMRs, microgrids, and clean energy solutions for northern regions and space missions
  • Permafrost and Infrastructure: stability, thaw adaptation, and resilience of critical systems
  • Afforestation and permafrost carbon feedback: nature-based solutions and climate modeling
  • Responsible resource extraction and use in Northern Regions and Space (e.g., the Moon): critical minerals, water, and governance of shared resources.
  • Environmental protection and sustainability of Earth-Space Systems: remote sensing, debris governance, and orbital/planetary pollution
  • Lunar Exploration and Sustainable Presence in Space

Two Cross-Cutting Principles

  • Common interests of humanity
  • Peaceful and sustainable use of extreme environments
