Climate Change, resilience and new pandemics in the Artic
Climate change is also affecting the Nordic countries, and there are vulnerable geographical areas that will be particularly affected by an increasing number of devastating natural events. The Climate Change Resilience in Small Communities in the Nordic Countries (CliCNord) Research Project will examine how small remote rural communities understand their situation, how they handle adverse events and build capacity, and investigate under what circumstances they need help from the established system and civil society organizations.
