Exploitable results

Exploitable results – (Draft) Report on local/ indigenous people participation in governance for the region has been produced which seeks to clarify the mechanisms by which they can contribute fully to the process

Result description

A report on the participation of local/indigenous people in governance in the Arctic region has been produced, which seeks to clarify the mechanisms by which they can contribute fully to the process. This report is mainly the result of a workshop on 9th/10th July 2014 in Paris. Scientists from the ACCESS (Arctic Climate Change, Economy and Society) project and indigenous people from the Arctic region have participated. The aim of the meeting was to share the findings of the ACCESS project with Arctic indigenous peoples’ representatives while trying to gain an understanding of their views and perspectives to ensure that they are incorporated into the work of ACCESS. The workshop also allowed for ACCESS to learn ways in which the results of ACCESS can be made more relevant and accessible to the indigenous communities in the Arctic.

Exploitable results – Main challenges for a better weather forecasting in particular taking into account requirements of a future observing network, were identified

Result description

This report, developed under the under the ACCESS (Arctic Climate Change, Economy and Society) project, aims to identify key factors limiting the monitoring and short-range weather forecasting capabilities, and give a foundation for recommendations for a future cost effective evolution, of the Arctic forecasting system. There are challenges connected to the Arctic climate, physical processes and conditions in numerical weather forecasting. The environmental conditions will change and the industry will have to adapt these changes. For enabling the industry to do so there was a need to look over existing regulatory frameworks and start a multi-stakeholder dialogue to find out where and how aquaculture operations can move or change their operations. Thus, a broader integrative approach is recommended for successful governance of the Arctic region.

Exploitable results – Potential environmental pressures raised by hydrocarbons exploitation (or other resources)

Result description

This report (Deliverable 4.41) is on the oil spill response capabilities and technologies in ice-free and ice-covered water, in the Arctic. This report is one of many deliverables that will enable the ACCESS (Arctic Climate Change, Economy and Society) programme to produce an across-the-board understanding of the socio-economic impacts associated with exploitation in the Arctic in a changing climate. The report also looks at the impacts that climate change will have on European policy, markets, economies, and Arctic governance.

Exploitable results – Effects of underwater noise pollution from ships and other maritime industries and potential impacts on marine mammals

Result description

The combined results of two reports: Deliverable 4.52: Simulator of the effects of noise from oil industry operations on marine mammals and Deliverable 4.57: Safety zones and noise exposure criteria for marine mammals exposed to anthropogenic noise under the ACCESS (Arctic Climate Change, Economy and Society) project.

Exploitable results – Development of the Arctic Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) tool

Result description

Key data have been identified that are relevant to all sectors covered by ACCESS (Arctic Climate Change, Economy and Society) and have been used to populate the online Geographic Information System (GIS) developed during the project. The forecasting possibilities are relevant for industry sectors like maritime transport and resource exploitation. Governmental bodies could use this with regard to environmental impacts and climate change. The results are summarized in the two reports: Deliverable 1.81: Report on forecast quality and assessment of state and impacts of the components of the Arctic observing system and Deliverable 1.82: Future scenarios for evolution of the observing system for Arctic short-range forecasting

Exploitable results – Report on climate change and Arctic aquaculture

Result description

2% of world's aquaculture production comes from the Arctic. Rising temperature will have the main effect on Arctic aquaculture. The report (Deliverable 3.21), developed under the ACCESS (Arctic Climate Change, Economy and Society) project, describes the current understanding, and state-of-the-science, of climate change and its likely impact on Arctic aquaculture.

Exploitable results – Model of the Barent Sea cod fishery (and mackerel)

Result description

This model, developed under the under the ACCESS (Arctic Climate Change, Economy and Society) project, allows exploration into the relationship between sustainable fisheries and environmental and socio-economic impacts, specifically within the Barent Sea region. The results are summarized in two reports: Deliverables 3.41 and 3.42. International legal regulations related to fisheries recognize the need to determine target yield considering economic, environmental, and social implications. Modelling allows the user to balance these objectives and making a qualitative decision based on quantitative sources.
