The AGU presentation, "Towards an 'Arctic Together': Supporting an Inclusive and Diverse Community through the Navigating the New Arctic Community Office" took place on December 15, 2023 from 10:37 to 10:46 MT. The Navigating the New Arctic Community Office (NNA-CO) built awareness, partnerships, opportunities, and resources for collaboration and equitable knowledge generation within, between, and beyond research projects funded by NSF’s Navigating the New Arctic (NNA) Initiative. In the presentation, the NNA-CO reviewed how it incorporated equity and inclusion into its values, architecture, governance, and activities, and reflected on challenges confronting collaborative and co-production research within NNA.

The AGU session, "Arctic Education & Outreach - Effective Ways of Engaging Diverse Learners in Arctic Science" took place on December 13, 2023 from 9:30 am to 11:00 am MT. The session addressed how changing polar environments had created important scientific and societal concerns in high and lower latitudes. Presenters shared effective approaches, frameworks, and examples to promote broader understanding and awareness of the changing Arctic and its societal implications. The session highlighted strategies to inspire learners in formal and informal contexts and invited papers on community engagement, co-design of educational and outreach activities, and fostering intergenerational and cross-cultural learning through Arctic Indigenous knowledge, science, and observation.
