In 2020, an international commission was launched by the medical journal The Lancet to study “Arctic Health: Urgently Accelerating Indigenous Health and Wellbeing” with the aim of bringing together global Arctic health researchers and Indigenous Knowledge Holders to study health and well-being issues facing Arctic Indigenous peoples and other communities. This plenary will feature leading Arctic health experts who will discuss topics including well-being, Indigenous identity, and interdisciplinary perspectives in health research. This panel will be moderated by Dr. Lisa V. Adams, Associate Dean for Global Health at Dartmouth Geisel School of Medicine, and Co-Chair of the Lancet Commission on Arctic Health.
