As part of the launch of the International Polar Year, results from Survey of Living Conditions in the Arctic (SLiCA) are now available online. Results include an Overview Paper, 583 Tables, and the International Core Questionnaire. SLiCA is an international joint effort of research and indigenous people to measure and understand living conditions in the Arctic.
The goals of SLiCA are to:
- measure living conditions in a way that is meaningful to arctic residents; - document and compare the present state of living conditions among the indigenous peoples of the Arctic; and - improve the understanding of living conditions in ways that will benefit arctic residents.
Indigenous peoples and researchers from the United States, Canada, Greenland, Norway, Sweden, Finland and the indigenous peoples of the Kola Peninsula and Chukotka in Russia have contributed to SLiCA, which is a sustainable development initiative of the Arctic Council and is supported by the Inuit Circumpolar Council, the Saami Council, and the Russian Association of Indigenous Peoples of the North.
