The CAP-SHARE project team is pleased to share the second section of our strategy series: “Recognizing Local and Indigenous Knowledges.” This document forms part of a four-part series exploring pathways for capacity sharing in Arctic biodiversity conservation. It builds on co-creation processes developed through the CAP-SHARE international workshops conducted in 2024–2025 and is informed by rigorous research.
The publication explores how local and Indigenous knowledge systems, rooted in lived experience, land-based practices, and intergenerational knowledge transmission, can contribute to biodiversity governance and decision-making across Arctic regions. Across the workshops, participants identified five interconnected priorities for sustainable environmental governance: embedding intergenerational dialogue in biodiversity discussions, strengthening youth environmental stewardship, investing in culturally responsive education, supporting community-based and Indigenous knowledge infrastructures, and maintaining inclusive learning spaces that foster dialogue.
The workshops also highlighted the importance of developing context-sensitive approaches that respectfully engage with regionally specific intergenerational knowledge related to nature, biodiversity, and sustainable development. Such approaches are important for fostering biodiversity governance in Arctic and Nordic regions that are both socially just and ecologically sustainable.
