As part of the launch of the International Polar Year, results from
Survey of Living Conditions in the Arctic (SLiCA) are now available
online. Results include an Overview Paper, 583 Tables, and the
International Core Questionnaire. SLiCA is an international joint effort
of research and indigenous people to measure and understand living
conditions in the Arctic.
The goals of SLiCA are to:
- measure living conditions in a way that is meaningful to arctic
residents;
- document and compare the present state of living conditions among the
indigenous peoples of the Arctic; and
- improve the understanding of living conditions in ways that will
benefit arctic residents.
Indigenous peoples and researchers from the United States, Canada,
Greenland, Norway, Sweden, Finland and the indigenous peoples of the
Kola Peninsula and Chukotka in Russia have contributed to SLiCA, which
is a sustainable development initiative of the Arctic Council and is
supported by the Inuit Circumpolar Council, the Saami Council, and the
Russian Association of Indigenous Peoples of the North.
