ARCNET: AN ARCTIC OCEAN NETWORK OF PRIORITY AREAS FOR CONSERVATION

ArcNet is a science-based proposal for a network of priority areas for conservation across the Arctic Ocean and adjacent seas. It aims to strengthen the resilience of Arctic biodiversity against climate change and industrial development, supporting the global goal of protecting 30% of the planet by 2030. The initiative calls for inclusive cooperation between Arctic governments, Indigenous peoples, the Arctic Council, scientists, and marine industries to establish and manage these protected areas.

• ArcNet is a mapped proposal for the planning and management of the Arctic Ocean's marine ecosystems and biodiversity, utilizing a transparent, reproducible approach based on rigorous scientific analysis and an extensive database of marine life.
• The initiative is designed to contribute to international conservation goals, specifically the target to protect and conserve at least 30 per cent of the planet by 2030.
• The implementation of the network requires a collaborative effort from multiple stakeholders: governments are urged to lead conservation measures, Indigenous and local knowledge holders should ensure diverse perspectives in design, and the Arctic Council is called upon to monitor effectiveness and facilitate collaboration in Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction.
