The ICARP process is a decadeโ€‘scale, international effort that brings together Arctic researchers, Indigenous Peoples, policymakers, and stakeholders to identify key Arctic knowledge gaps and set shared research priorities for the next ten years The report "Understanding the Dynamics and Resilience of Arctic Social-Ecological Systems to Foster Sustainable Futures" brings together researchers, Indigenous Knowledge holders, community leaders, and policy experts from across the circumpolar North. It maps the most pressing research priorities for the next decade: community-led climate monitoring, sustainable infrastructure, rights-based governance, and Indigenous-led approaches to Arctic science. It also provides foundational guidance for the next International Polar Year (IPY-5) planning cycle, a roadmap from understanding to action, at a moment when the Arctic needs it most. Grateful to everyone in RPT 3 and the broader ICARP IV community. This was a genuine collective effort, and it shows.
