Arctic Policy Centers

CAPS is working to build a list of organizations that are focused in their mission on arctic policy.  In Autumn 2019, we are planning a project to enhance communication across organizations so that we can better understand who is making policy in and for the Arctic, and can develop a catalog of key actors producing policy scholarship. Please stay tuned as our project develops, and if you are on this list we will likely be contacting you soon! If your organization is not on this list but you think it should be, please reach out to us at uaf-caps@alaska.edu.
