The Arctic Sustainable Development Working Group (Arctic SDWG) is a collaborative initiative within the Arctic Council that focuses on promoting environmentally responsible and economically viable development in the Arctic region. It brings together Arctic countries and organizations to share knowledge, develop best practices, and address challenges like climate change, biodiversity, and sustainable resource use. The goal is to ensure that Arctic development benefits local communities, respects indigenous peoples, and preserves the region's unique environment for future generations.
