Abstract
- The Arctic Mayors� Forum (AMF), founded in 2019, was set up to include local government perspectives in Arctic governance. It addresses common challenges faced by Arctic communities, advocating for sustainable development and resilient societies. As the only platform for circumpolar collaboration among Arctic local governments, the AMF promotes dialogue and coordination among municipalities and vertical engagement with national and international actors, aiming to bridge local and global governance. The AMF challenges the traditional narrative of the Arctic as a fragile, remote region by emphasizing the human and community dimensions. It prioritizes public health, sustainable development and depopulation, while balancing environmental concerns.
