Congratulations to UNBC Geography's Dr. Gail Fondahl and her co-editor Joan Nymand Larsen (Nordic Council of Ministers, Nordic Council of Ministers Secretariat) on the recent publication of their report entitled, Arctic Human Development Report II : Regional Processes and Global Linkages (2015).

The goals of the second volume of the AHDR – Arctic Human Development Report: Regional Processes and Global Linkages – are to provide an update to the first AHDR (2004) in terms of an assessment of the state of Arctic human development; to highlight the major trends and changes unfolding related to the various issues and thematic areas of human development in the Arctic over the past decade; and, based on this assessment, to identify policy relevant conclusions and key gaps in knowledge, new and emerging Arctic success stories.
