Inuit Circumpolar Council-Alaska

Inuit engagement in the central arctic ocean fisheries agreement (caofa) implementation: on june 25, 2021, the agreement to prevent unregulated high seas fisheries in the central arctic ocean (caofa) entered into force. The agreement is the first of its kind, a multilateral and legally binding agreement, that calls for taking a precautionary approach to protect and prevent unregulated fishing in the high seas portion of the central arctic ocean. The agreement recognizes the interests of arctic indigenous peoples and the importance of involving them and their communities. Indigenous knowledge (ik), alongside science is also recognized and will be included. The united states has included alaskan inuit as a part of the delegation. Facilitation and coordination of alaskan inuit from the north slope, northwest arctic, bering strait, and yukon kuskokwim delta regions in alaska, has been done by inuit circumpolar council (icc) alaska.

Implementation support of the arctic council coastal biodiversity monitoring plan in the u.s.: the coastal biodiversity monitoring plan (cbmp) is a project under the arctic council's conservation of arctic flora and fauna's (caff) working group. The cbmp aims to address the adverse impacts of rapidly changing alaska arctic coastal ecosystems on food security, arctic coastal communities, and indigenous peoples. Icc alaska plays a vital role in implementing and coordinating the cbmp in the us arctic region, focusing on the co-production of knowledge of indigenous knowledge (ik) and scientific knowledge.
