Gaia Arctic Summit

Thank you for your valuable time and insights 👏

Reflections from Arctic Pioneers on the Gaia Arctic Summit 💚 We are overwhelmed by the incredible response, appreciation, and the weight of responsibility that comes with hosting a climate change event. From the outset, we made it clear to our audience, speakers, participants, and partners that the Gaia Arctic Summit wasn't just another climate talk show. Our mission was clear: 🎯 we aimed to make a tangible difference for the Arctic and Northern Norway. 🎯 An opportunity for locals to build network with national and international expertise. 🎯 We set out to shed light on overlooked policies, highlight financial sector schemes in climate-friendly initiatives, and showcase sustainable businesses driving both environmental and economic success.   Now, as the event draws to a close, we bear the responsibility of turning our gains into action. Together, we'll work to ensure that when we reconvene next year, more businesses in the North have benefited, and our reach extends even further into coastal communities. We're keen to begin working on the report, initiatives, and solutions that will encourage coastal communities and businesses in the north to take action for a sustainable and climate-friendly future. Our commitment to climate action and Northern Norway continues 🌍💪 Odd Are Svensen Ane Høyem Grete Ellingsen Anita Skog Andrea Liverani Kim Noguera Gabrielli André Küüsvek Anders Jonsson Brita Staal Arne Ivar Mikalsen Philippe Tulkens Runa Haug Khoury Kirsti Helene Rødfjell Meidelsen Martin Rasmussen Stig Pettersen Marthe Hov Jacobsen Laura Wendling Trude Glad Marthe Haugland Tarjei Nødtvedt Malme Daniel Sowe Michal Meyer Nilssen Cathrine Barth Einar Kleppe Holthe Marianne Bahr Simonsen Trygve A.

Tilbakeblikk til forrrige ukes Gaia Arctic Summit! Takk til alle involverte for at dere skapte denne unike møteplasen i Vesterålen. Veldig beæret over å få delta med prosjektet Yderst Europe i samspill med Kartellet for å sette grunntonen for konferansen. Vi gleder oss allerede til neste utgave! Denne konferansen gav faktagrunnlag for å forstå de felles utfordringene vi står i, både lokalt og globalt. Samtidig sitter vi igjen med en "glokal" fremtidstro basert på alle de dyktige folka som sirkulerer i vårt nettverk etter konferansen. Kudos til alle innvolverte!

Thank you for participating 🫶

This session at the conference was incredibly inspiring! The theme was “Prerequisites for Change: How Can We Create Change? Financing, Research and Innovation.” A heartfelt thanks to moderator Laura Wendling Wendling from SINTEF, keynote speakers André Küüsvek from the Nordic Investment Bank, Trude Glad from Sparebank1 Nord-Norge, Marthe Haugland from Nordic Innovation, and Tarjei Nødtvedt Malme from the Norwegian Research Council and in panel session Michal Meyer Nilssen from Norskin Materials AS and Daniel Sowe from HADSEL KOMMUNE. Your insights and perspectives were invaluable.

So delighted to have our conference at dinner Hurtigrutemuseet 🙌 We enjoyed delicious food from Kvitnes Gård, captivating dance by Kartellet, all brilliantly hosted by Hadde Njie.

Great second session of Gaia Arctic Summit, where we learned how climate change affects and changes legislation and political frameworks. Thanks to all keynotes and speakers!
