This report represents the first comprehensive attempt to document and compare systematically the welfare of Arctic residents on a circumpolar basis. Building on the pioneering work of the Arctic Council on environmental issues, it seeks to expand our horizons by spotlighting the social, economic and cultural aspects of the lives of the people in the region. In this way, the Arctic Human Development Report should mark a substantial contribution to the work of Arctic council in the area of sustainable development.
