I’m in sunny Stockholm this week, spring is here for sure and woolly hats and gloves are yet again stored away for next winter. In a grand Natural History museum, not so far from where I work, sit scientists, Indigenous representatives, civil society organisations and senior officials from Arctic States to discuss new alarming findings regarding the rapid changes that are taking place in the Arctic and how that will impact those that live there and the nature and wildlife that they depend on for their very survival.
