As climate change warmed the Arctic more than twice as fast as the rest of the planet, communities faced growing challenges such as coastal erosion and food security. The National Science Foundation's Navigating the New Arctic (NNA) initiative aimed to advance actionable knowledge through convergence research that included Indigenous Knowledge, and the NNA-CO supported this mission by building awareness, partnerships, and equitable collaboration. The NNA-CO hosted a Town Hall to discuss inclusive research design, Indigenous knowledge and data sovereignty, and effective knowledge dissemination, inviting current and prospective researchers and collaborators to attend.
