The Northern Forum aims at providing this platform, the Arctic Pavilion, for the outreach and collaboration at COP29 and develop it further in the framework of UNFCCC, revitalizing partnerships for sustainable development in the high north, with particular focus on the indigenous communities and youth engagement.
Tackling the effects of climate change in the region requires close coordination, collaboration and partnership with relevant Global governance efforts. Though the Arctic plays a crucial role in regulating, stabilizing and transforming the Earth’s climate, as of today there is no Arctic Pavilion at COP, and the region is little covered by its outcomes. While main regional cooperation remains largely frozen, the cooperation on SDGs in the Arctic needs a global platform.
The Northern Forum aims at providing this platform, the Arctic Pavilion, for the outreach and collaboration at COP29 and develop it further in the framework of UNFCCC, revitalizing partnerships for sustainable development in the high north, with particular focus on the indigenous communities and youth engagement.
The Melnichenko Foundation considers NCS to be among the most important priorities in its activities and is engaged in their promotion within the framework of the global climate agenda. The Foundation advocates for the intensification of scientific research about the Arctic, including international research, an open global dialogue on the climate agenda being a fundamental element of success.
The mission of the Northern Forum is to improve the quality of life in the North and support regional sustainable development. The goals are to provide tools and opportunities for regional leaders in solving common problems, implementing joint socio-economic initiatives at the regional level, organizing events, ensuring active engagement in international forums and the implementation of projects of local and Global importance and supporting and enhancing active youth engagement.
The organization's development goal is to turn the Northern Forum into an effective, non-alternative structure for interregional and international cooperation of the regions of the North and the Arctic, which shapes world politics in this area and is an equal partner of international organizations with its own unique niche.
The Northern Forum has a status of Observer in the UNFCCC, the Arctic Council and is the only NGO for interregional cooperation in that role.
