Circumpolar Inuit Protocols for Equitable and Ethical Engagement

Equitable and ethical engagement and the utilization of Indigenous Knowledge is required to inform research, assessments, monitoring programs, decision-making, policy and governance. Such an approach will ensure that all will have the best available information to make sound decisions that respond to conditions facing the entire global community. In recognition of these continuing challenges and with a desire to provide guidance, the 2018 ICC Utqiaġvik Declaration directed the Inuit Circumpolar Council (ICC) to facilitate the development of the Circumpolar Inuit Protocols for Equitable and Ethical Engagement, hereafter referred to as the EEE Protocols.
