Aims
The CAP-SHARE: Building Bridges of Shared Capacity between Scientists, Policymakers, and Communities is funded by the Interreg Northern Periphery and Arctic program and will run from 2024 to 2027. CAP-SHARE aims to develop a model for effective capacity sharing for biodiversity preservation and climate resilience within NPA municipalities by promoting cooperation between communities, scientists, and policymakers. Activities, such as public online and in-person workshops in collaboration with local museums, and an international youth science symposium, will focus on building solutions based on the following themes:
All CAP-SHARE project partners are part of the YAN Steering Committee; the Lead Partner for CAP-SHARE is the Icelandic Museum of Natural History, with Project Partners being Arctic Frontiers in Norway and the University of Lapland in Finland. They will collaborate with other members of the Steering Committee throughout the project.
The CAP-SHARE Kick-off took place on 04 September 2024, and more information will be posted here as the project progresses.
- Co-creating bridges between communities, policymakers, and scientists

Upcoming events
The CAP-SHARE project is hosting a series of four recorded (2-3 hour) online workshops that will be published online. Each online workshop will have current or ongoing examples of projects who have successful experience in each workshop theme. Based on these themes each workshop will create a draft section of the strategy for capacity sharing. This will then be implemented at the local and international community development activities in 2025-2027.
